Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – soft acoustic, light steel] Funny how it comes back to you… ⸻ [Verse 1] I remember when the days felt long Didn’t need much, just a radio song Windows down on a two-lane road Nowhere special, just goin’ slow You’d lean your head on my shoulder then Talkin’ ‘bout where we might’ve been Didn’t think ‘bout time back then Just let it roll, just lived in it ⸻ [Hook] Back then, it was easy Didn’t know what we had Didn’t think about leavin’ Didn’t dwell on the past Now I look back and see it All the little things we were Yeah, life’s got a way of changin’ But it don’t change what it meant ⸻ [Verse 2] I remember when the nights stayed up Laughin’ ‘bout nothin’, that was enough Every plan was a “we’ll see” Every moment felt like it’d keep Somewhere along we grew up fast Started thinkin’ more ‘bout the past But every now and then I find That same old feelin’ cross my mind ⸻ [Hook] Back then, it was easy Didn’t know what we had Didn’t think about leavin’ Didn’t dwell on the past Now I look back and see it All the little things we were Yeah, life’s got a way of changin’ But it don’t change what it meant ⸻ [Steel Guitar Solo – warm, reflective, 8–12 bars] ⸻ [Verse 3 – present perspective] Now the days move a little quicker on Still catch myself hummin’ those songs Still see you in a memory or two In the way the sky turns blue Ain’t tryin’ to go back again Just glad I got to live it then Some things fade, some things stay And some just find their way ⸻ [Final Hook – fuller, warm] Back then, it was easy Didn’t know what we had Didn’t think about leavin’ Didn’t dwell on the past Now I look back and feel it All the simple things we were Yeah, life’s got a way of changin’ But it don’t change what it meant ⸻ [Outro – soft, fading] Funny how it comes back to you… Right when you need it to
