| It all started back in 1981.
|
| Our life together had just begun.
|
| I didn’t know what my future would hold,
|
| But you gave me a chance,
|
| So I set out on the road.
|
| It wasn’t easy going then.
|
| There were times I almost threw that old towel in,
|
| But you kept callin me back to the stage,
|
| And I finally found my place in each and every face.
|
| I’m not sayin I’m through by any means.
|
| There’s still things that I want to say and do.
|
| I hope you won’t forget me, cause we’ve shared a lot dreams.
|
| And just know that I’ll always remember you.
|
| When I first set out on the road, I figured
|
| I had maybe 5 good years to sing my songs for you folks.
|
| Well, it’s goin on 30 now
|
| And I still love it just as much as I ever did.
|
| When I hear that announcer say my name,
|
| And I walk through those curtains
|
| And see your smilin' faces,
|
| My feet don’t touch the ground again
|
| Til I walk out and get back on that bus that got me here.
|
| I don’t know how many more years I’ve got left to do this,
|
| But I figure a few.
|
| I do want you to know, though,
|
| That when I do walk off this stage for the last time,
|
| And I’m all settled in, away from all this,
|
| You won’t be far away.
|
| I’ll still hear your screams and cheers in my mind.
|
| And I’ll always remember you.
|
| I’m not sayin I’m through by any means.
|
| Cause there’s still things that I want to say and do.
|
| I hope you won’t forget me, cause we’ve shared a lot dreams.
|
| And just know that I’ll always remember you.
|
| You’ve pulled me through some hard times.
|
| Hope I’ve pulled you through a few.
|
| And just know that I’ll always remember you. |
