Standing in line at the Circle K
To get a 6 pack for the football game
When I heard somebody say my name
Imagine my surprise
We talked about the good old days
We talked about how time slipped away
We talked ’til the only thing left say
Was what we said with our eyes
And how that summer night when we lost our innocence
We remembered to forget
How we broke down in Cape Pele
And spent the night in my Chevrolet
For the first time that old car
Made me thank my lucky stars
We loved until the sun came up
Drinking whiskey from Timmy’s cup
We swore forever and sealed it with a kiss
Yeah, it’s those little things
We remember to forget
She flashed a ring and said “How about you?”
I said “Yeah, I’m married too,
It’ll be five years come this June.
We got a baby due in July”
That’s when she pulled a picture from her purse and said,
“That’s my Jesse, she’s my first…”
I said, “Yeah, one thing for sure, she’s got her Mama’s eyes…”
Looks like we each got our own white picket fence
So we remembered to forget
How I bought a tiny golden band
And asked your Daddy for you hand
And for the first time in my life
I was scared to see you that night
I didn’t know what you’d say to me
When I dropped down on one knee
I don’t remember what I said
But you said “Yes!”
Yeah, it’s those little things
We remembered to forget
We said all that we could say
I saw her eyes in her rearview mirror as she drove away…
And all those pretty words that we once said
And all those promises we never kept
We remember to forget
(Broke down in Cap Pelo)
We remember to forget
(Spent the night in my Chevrolet)
We remember to forget
(Loved until the sun came up)
We remember to forget
(Drinking whiskey from a Timmy’s cup)
