Memories by Traveling John Lyrics

You leaned out the window and fell to the ground
With your face in the mud, what a mess
You looked like a comedy actor
Who showed me your funniest move and I guess
That because you got by it was okay that I
Was laughing so I cried
Though I was relived you didn't die

Catherine and I were about to go out
But I didn't have time to prepare
I put on my bathrobe and old rubber boots
When I couldn't find something to wear
Even though she was embarrassed by me
She was laughing when I said
"I don't understand why people stare"

Memories I think about
When I'm on my own
Time apart or a distance
Will not take them away
Could not forget em even if I tried
The restaurant cost was expensive for us
We were young so we thought of a way
We pretended to be from a food magazine
Then we ate without having to pay
We smiled when we chewed we will send the review
We said before we left
Still feel a little bad for them today

I remember a kiss in the old backyard
You were smiling and held me close
I was just seventeen with no self-esteem
But I was the one that you chose
You said "well you are not the most handsome and tall
But for me that isn't all
I really like the way that you compose"

Memories I think about
When I'm far from home
Time apart or a distance
Will not take them away
Could not forget 'em even if I tried

If you ask me where those days have gone
I don't know where, I don't know where
If you find them in your mind some day, take me there
