Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We stood in line for free cheese
Paper bags and worn-out shoes
Mama counting every coupon
Smiling like we couldn’t lose
I watched her cut those pale squares
Stack ’em careful
Side by side
Salt and crackers on a plate
She said
“We’re doing fine”
[Chorus]
I remember free cheese ’cause we were poor
Now I’m standing in a grocery store
Throwing mozzarella in the cart
Like it didn’t used to break our hearts
Time flies by
It’s gone so fast
But I still taste the struggle in the past
And I’m grateful now
When I buy what we need
I remember
I remember that free cheese
[Verse 2]
Friday night at Pizza King
Sticky tables
Plastic cups
Arcade change in my pocket
Praying they would call us up
Grease-stained boxes on the table
Laughter hanging in the air
If I close my eyes this evening
Feels like we’re still sitting there
[Chorus]
I remember free cheese ’cause we were poor
Now I’m standing in a grocery store
Throwing mozzarella in the cart
Like it didn’t used to break our hearts
Time flies by
It’s gone so fast
But I still taste the struggle in the past
And I’m grateful now
When I buy what we need
I remember
I remember that free cheese
[Bridge]
Years roll on like an old folk song
Same three chords
But we sing along (oh oh)
I got more than I ever thought I would
But I keep those days tucked under my hood
[Chorus]
I remember free cheese ’cause we were poor
Now I’m standing in a grocery store
Throwing mozzarella in the cart
Like it didn’t used to break our hearts
Time flies by
It’s gone so fast
Every slice is a shadow cast
And I’m grateful now
When I buy what we need
I remember
I remember that free cheese

Style
folk, Warm indie folk ballad with male vocals; fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft upright bass, brushed snare and subtle tambourine. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, breathy and conversational; chorus blooms with gentle harmonies and organ pad. Final pass strips back to guitar and voice for a nostalgic, grateful landing.
