Old Songs © 2007 Kevin Pearson / Steve Bixby An old song comes on the radio The memories start to roll It takes me back to so long ago and lights an old fire in my soul Makes me think about an old girlfriend from back in my high school days Terri , broke my heart in the end but I see her face when , Sweet Melissa plays chorus My mind races back in time to remember where and when Tied in with each and every line is a faded memory to re-live again That's the great thing about old songs They're kind of like old friends Sometimes they slip off the back of your mind but you know them when they come back again We all have songs that remind us of things we'd rather forget And we have songs that define us and tell us that we have lived Do you remember singing Free Bird along with the eight track in your car You and Ronnie belting out every word flying down the road, feeling like a star chorus My mind races back in time to remember where and when Tied in with each and every line is a faded memory to re-live again That's the great thing about old songs They're kind of like old friends Sometimes they slip off the back of your mind but you know them when they come back again Don't know how the words and the melodies can go unheard for so long then in a heartbeat return, attached to a memory of someplace long gone chorus My mind races back in time to remember where and when Tied in with each and every line is a faded memory to re-live again That's the great thing about old songs They're kind of like old friends Sometimes they slip off the back of your mind but you know them when they come back again
