Remember This

Six strings five chords and a big dream Packing up leaving home she was seventeen Headed south settled down in a country town Figured out where the music people hung around Got a gig in a bar the smell of cigarettes Racing heart one shot drunken silhouettes Late nights all alone thoughts of going home She calls her mamma up on the telephone And she says to her... Remember this when you're dancing in the spotlight All the strength that you built on the inside And the moments that you never thought you'd make it through Cause I'll remember those when I look at you Fast forward to the part where she's twenty-one Hanging out with a boy yea she was having fun A few dates heartache a head full of doubt Now she's got some material to write about She sang her songs played along but things were moving slow Waiting on the day she'd hear her song on the radio Missing him at her shows feelings of chagrin She calls him up on the phone cause she was wearing thin And he says to her... Remember this when you're dancing in the spotlight All the strength that you built on the inside And the moments that you never thought you'd make it through Cause I'll remember those when I look at you It's the character you build when weak And the memories that keep your feet on the ground Now it's large crowds sing aloud as they sway along Time now split between her family and writing songs She walks her son to his class on the first day He says mamma I'm scared I want to run away And she says to him... Remember this when you're dancing in the spotlight All the strength that you built on the inside And the moments that you never thought you'd make it through Cause I'll remember those when I look at you Remember this when you're dancing in the spotlight All the strength that you built on the inside And the moments that you never thought you'd make it through Cause I'll remember those when I look at you
