Dougherty County Lyrics

He said, "There's so much there before you, there's no

need for looking back",

I said, "If you grew up where I did, you might not say

a thing like that."

Cause your money fades and crumples and turns to lines

upon your face,

But I learned a lesson long ago, old friends can't be

replaced.

So we all meet in Dougherty County, once or twice a

year,

We laugh and lie and keep the night awake,

Our hair is a little longer, and our words a little

stronger,

But our hearts are something the years have never

changed.

And I remember times like these, they are the times of

my life,

And I fall back on times like these, when life gets a

little rough,

Cause they never go too far.

He said, "Well, why don't you go back then."

I said, " Man, I wish I could. But I made a promise

long ago, and I'm bound to make it good.

And I look forward to tomorrow I'm just proud of where

I've been,

Can't help but hear their voices ringing through the Lost Trailers - Dougherty County - http://motolyrics.com/lost-trailers/dougherty-county-lyrics.html

summer wind.

They call me back to Dougherty County on Independence

Day,

We laugh and sigh and keep the night awake,

I guess the reasons that I left hear are the reasons I

come back,

Sometimes you've got to leave to find out what you

have.

And I remember times like these, they are the times of

my life,

And I fall back on times like these, when life gets a

little rough,

Cause they never go too far.

And these changes, are stealing my ways, they give me

today then its gone,

And these angels keep me awake, I feel lucky to know

them at all.

I reach back into my wallet and pull a postcard from

its place,

The sides are torn and tattered, and the words are

half-erased,

I guess I've memorized those few lines, that my Papa

wrote,

He said if things aren't working out, Son, you know

you're always welcome home.
