today is my birthday   and all that I want   is to dig through this big box of pictures    in my kitchen 'til the daylight's gone   this one here's my momma with the long brown hair   I'm forty years older today than she was in that picture there      but if life stayed the way it was   and lovers never fell out of love   if memories didn't last so long   if nobody did nobody wrong   if we knew what we had before it was gone   if every road led back home   this would be the very last country song      these are all my babies   Lord knows how we survived   the first one was hard and the last wasn't planned, what a big surprise   that's him with his daddy's eyes   I loved the man in this one   it's faded but I don't care   there are nights when I wake up and know he's beside me I swear   sometimes I still feel him there      but if life stayed the way it was   and lovers never fell out of love   if memories didn't last so long   if nobody did nobody wrong   if we knew what we had before it was gone   if every road led back home   this would be the very last country song      if we knew what we had before it was gone   if every road led back home   this would be the very last country song
