Song: Came Home Count Memories Tab
I Just Came Home to Count the Memories
J. Anderson
D
G D
I saw roses choking in the grass, flaking paint and a broken window
pane.
The old man from the house across the street asked, �How�s it goin� ?
and I said �Fine.�
All the birds that sang their pretty songs aren�t singing like they did
when we were here.
D
G A
A mailbox barely standing by the driveway, I can almost read the name.
But the expression on his face would make me think, that he could almost
read my mind.
�Cause there�s no happiness in music if somebody isn�t close enough to
here
G
D
A swing-set and forgotten toys where little girls and boys played happy
games
That Johnson boy from down the road was askin� if the kids could come
and play
I picked a ragged daisy from it�s home out in the corner the yard --
D
A D
Everything I ever cared about is gone now, but the memory still
remains.
Lord I wish I could have told him yes, but I just said, �I guess no,
not today.�
�She loves me - She loves me not,� Now I don�t have to wonder anymore.
CHORUS:
D G
A D
I just came home to count the memories, that I�ve been counting in my
mind
G
A D
I just came home to count the memories, � of a better day and time.
(Last time)
� I guess it�s time to say good-bye.
