Well I been talking about it
Been thinkin' about it longer
Now I'm trying to write it down

Well these things that I been savin'
well they're not what I been needin'
It's just those memories of you.


Some things you never lose
they only slip away.


And his old plane hit the ground
But he ain't over now

And his old heart took a turn
Yeah you think he'll ever learn.


when the cherrie's turnin' black I'll be gone
I'll turn into the sun
and put my trigger down

and put my trigger down

That old American river

You know the one I like to cross
It makes me feel like I'm really there
And I like that a lot.


If I had to give it all away
I'd keep my dog and my guitar

Yeah and those memories of you.

Some things you never lose

They only slip away.

And his old plane hit the ground

But he ain't over now
And his old heart took a turn
Yeah he swallowed up and burned.


When the cherries turnin' black I'll be gone
I'll turn into the sun

And put my trigger down
Put my trigger down
I'll put my trigger down
