I remember the words, what song was that?
Do you remember the melody? The tune won't escape me.
We went on New Year's Eve in nineteen-ninety-something
Or maybe it was a different year - it's a bit hazy.
Get out your tape deck and find the tape I made the night I sat alone.
It's a little embarrassing to think about what's on it now,
But the meaning's there even though it sounds a little dated.
I don't even like that band any more.
I remember you still.
I still have all the tapes that you made.
I don't have a way to play them anymore.
I like to look at them and remember that I was loved once.
I'll buy you a twelve dollar beer when they come to the county fair next year.
We'll stand in the back and watch from afar,
Sitting down when the new stuff comes on,
Heading home before the sun goes down.
If I play it for you in a style like the style we like today,
Do you think it would jog your memory?
Drive to the airport in my early '90s beater car.
If you sing along, I think it would.
