This a straight up country song. Complete with a line dance, country piano and a slide guitar… even a little hambone, and boot stomping. Its fun to hear even though the lyrics are all about heart ache.
lyrics
If I didn't love you, I might not be who I am. 2000 Memories make me week where I stand. you're all I've ever wanted, how could I still feel this way knowing tomorrow will never be what I pray.
Now some say I'm crazy, it's not love it's my pride and my spirit is just along for the ride and if you were what I needed you'd be here by my side and I wouldn't live for yesterday.
In your eyes once was love a love I feel the remnants of
And its so hard to let go of what my momma sad to live for.
I guess I should've told you how I felt long ago and now Karma is making me reap what I sew and maybe tomorrow I'll take from today a little less of yesterday.
n your eyes once was love a love I feel the remnants of
And its so hard to let go of what my momma sad to live for.
Cuz you make me happy, you make me happy
And its so hard to let go of what my momma sad to live for.
