[Verse 1]

Like a set of black marks tattooed on a highway

Like some cheap light beer or that Georgia clear that got us a little sideways

Like a first love's tears and taillights, so long seventeen

Hand-me-down Ford, "For Sale" sign along with her shotgun seat

[Chorus]

Gone but not forgotten

All those memories, we got 'em

These small towns change and glory fades like all our yesterdays

Gone but not forgotten

Gone but not forgotten

[Verse 2]

And there's a little white cross on the sidе of the highway

In memories of thе ones we loved and lost that got to fly away

Reminders of the good-die-youngs all over this old town

Like all of the tears and beers we poured out on this hallowed ground

[Chorus]

Gone but not forgotten

All those memories, we got 'em

These small towns change and glory fades like all our yesterdays

Gone but not forgotten

[Bridge]

And here's to all the some-gave-alls, the ones that done come home

The ones that do, those twenty-two that died fighting the same damn war

Gone but not forgotten

All those memories, we got 'em

[Chorus]

Gone but not forgotten

All those memories, we got 'em

These small towns change and glory fades like all our yesterdays

Gone but not forgotten

Gone but not forgotten
