It's been too long

Since I traveled down

That ol' gravel road

On the north end of town

And I need a taste

Of the good ol' days gone

So tonight I let my memory

Take me home



And I'll be seventeen on my way to pick her up

With a half a dozen roses

In my daddy's pickup truck

And for a little while I'll just hold her in my arms

Dream on and on and on

Tonight I'll let my memory take me home



We grew apart and I moved away

It's a choice I regret

A little more every day

God I love to go back

To the good ol' days gone

So tonight I'll let my memory

Take me home



And I'll be seventeen on my way to pick her up

With a half a dozen roses

In my daddy's pickup truck

And for a little while I'll just hold her in my arms

Dream on and on and on

Tonight I'll let my memory take me home



Yesterday ain't that far away

I'll just close my eyes

And drift away



I'll be seventeen on my way to pick her up

With a half a dozen roses

In my daddy's pickup truck

And for a little while I'll just hold her in my arms

Dream on and on and on

Tonight I'll let my memory take me home

Dream on and on and on

Tonight I'll let my memory take me home
