Lines I Love: The Things We Forget by Mark Wills

"I forgot how much I love that smell of the dirt fresh off the plow;

That tailgate rattle, tires on gravel, I sure do love that sound.

And I can't believe I spent so many years I spent runnin' from this.

It's slow and it's small and it's life at a crawl but it's everything I miss.

Where we come from,

Where we're goin';

How to live right here in the moment;

How to love somebody,

Let 'em love you back;

When to let go and cry,

When to lighten' up and laugh;

Slow it all and take a long deep breath,

Man the things we forget.

Then I pulled off that old river road and I looked back at my life:

At the long lost friends and the might have been loves I told goodbye.

Then I lay back on my truck hood and I pondered why we're here.

If you stare long enough at the heavens above man it all gets crystal clear.

Man the things we forget.
