What Once Was
Lyrics
Like a photo I haven't seen in awhile
As a boy living young and wild
Standing next to that old 68 Ford
He only let me drive it once before
Always polishing the door for good luck
Like my daddy's old truck
Damn, I miss what once was
Like a song that gets lost in my mind
Everyone should remember a line
And it gets harder now to sing it again
When we listen to the radio wind
Like a vinyl gathering some dust
That I played growing up
Damn, I miss what once was
After all the time I've spent round here
I still remember about the past more clear
Than I do about this year because
Like a long lost love
Damn, I miss what once was
Like a road that I've been down before
Taking home but it's not there anymore
Where as a kid I had the whole backyard
To build a tent and count those shooting stars
When the night got dark I'd look up
Now I'm all grown up
Damn, I miss what once was
After all the time I've spent round here
I still remember about the past more clear
Than I do about this year because
Like a long lost love
Damn, I miss what once was
Like a birthday when you're one hundred years old
And you're singing for the Lord to bring you home
Looking back upon your golden years
Wondered if you ever faced all your fears
Or cried your tears of love
Like those gone before us
Damn, I miss what once was
