Remember       Lyrics and music by Jerry Stevens

I can tell by the way that you hold your gun/ You don't rally want to hurt me you just want /To have a little fun like anybody else would want/ I can tell by the way that the world spins round /You can change like anyone in town/ Any confidence once lost can again be found

[chorus] Don't get lazy /When love's callin give yourself some /Don't be foolish /Don't be dumb/ You been too long in the trenches/ I know your time is gonna come/ Baby come to your senses /Remember where you come from/ Oh, remember

I can tell by the way that the paper will tear/ Somehow along the road your heart broke somewhere /There is still a little part of you deep inside that cares/ I can tell by the way that the night gets cold /You were tired of seein your love bought and sold /so you spent up every dime you had To break from the mold

I can tell by the way the stones get thrown /You could work your fingers all the way to the bone /Any shattered walls in your house you fix on your own/ I can tell by the way that the hand got bit/ A child had a whole lot to do with it /The teacher at the foot of the student one day must sit
