Long Enough to Be a Memory

Long Enough to Be a Memory - Wade Bowen

There's the road

Where I learned to dream

And fell in love with something deep in me

That said this town just wasn't big enough

Donut Shop

Where the old folks they still to go to talk

Well I wonder if I left a mark

And if they'd recognize me

Well I'm just a stranger in a strange town

Where the stars are the same and sun beats down

It was kind enough to give me all I need

I just hope I stay long enough to be a memory

I started out

A thousand miles away from my childhood

Got a job and it payed pretty good

Fell in love with being free

Learned to live

On red wine and a broken heart

When that first love of mine fell apart

That's when I found myself in need

Well I was a stranger in a strange town

Where the stars were the same and sun beats down

It was kind enough to give me all I need

And I just hope I stay long enough to be a memory

Well halfway through three weeks out on the road

Where gypsy heart has a mind of its own

Just counting down the days till it brings me back home

But tonight Yeah tonight

Tonight I'm just a stranger in a strange town

Where the stars are the same and sun beats down

You were kind enough to give me all I need

I just hope I stay long enough to be a memory

Long enough to be a memory

Long enough to be a memory

Oh yeah
