I remember the day when the dirt road was paved Six years old is old enough to know That you don't wanna change I remember the night, Mama tried not to cry And hide her eyes from the three little boys by her side I remember the time I said I don't wanna die Country boys, will they know how to fight?
I'd like to take every bit of that gravel away Some things won't ever change
I remember the day that my tears hit your grave You know me, I've always got something to say I remember the cold and how it stung through my coat It's late February in Arlington and I just wish we were home
I just can't help but to think you're watching us now You still make us so proud
I remember the day when the dirt road was paved I've grown old, it's old enough to know That you can't stop change
