It was late one night in Southern Texas   My dad was playing in a rock-n-roll band   He took me along to a place called Cheatem Street   My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time   Oh but a phone call would have been nice      I guess you're stuck with what was given to you   And the world couldn't change my spirit   This will remain the same      You were young and living like you wanted to   I understand because I packed up and left just like you did   At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands   Oh in so many ways you did      I don't want to have you worry no more   Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started   So we can move on      I want you to know I really needed you then   And I can use you now   I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs   I would sit along side of the fence      Now you're doing fine and you're gigging here and there   It's been nice to know you for the past few years   When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure   Ohhh it could have turned out so different      I guess you're stuck with what was given to you   And the world couldn't change my spirit   This will remain forever      I don't want to have you worry no more   Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started   So we can move on
