When You Can't Remember lyrics

It was tractors and combines Freezin' in deer blinds Sunburns from sittin' All day in the boat It was mud tires on my truck Son, make your own luck Yes, ma'am and no, ma'am Do what she told you It was boy, take your best shot A good name's all that you've got Take care of your sister The best you know how It was stand on your own feet Give God the glory That's what you taught me So I'll tell you now When you can't remember When you can't put names with the faces Remember the places Why you stand where you do When you can't remember I'll tell you we broke the cycle We stayed together Like you prayed that we would No, they don't make heroes like they used to When you can't remember It was barrooms and guitars Dreamin' on big stars Payin' those dues 'Cause that's what we do It was marriage and babies Son, that's your lady You love that girl And cherish those children Now it's grandkids and: Son, when you think we'll go fishin'? How'd it become the cat's in the cradle so soon? And all of these beautiful memories I cherish Is my way of saying: Dad, I love you When you can't remember When you can't put names with the faces Remember the places Why you stand where you do When you can't remember I'll tell you we broke the cycle We stayed together Like you prayed that we would When you can't remember You can't put names with the faces You can't remember the places Why you stand where you do When you can't remember I'll tell you we broke the cycle Yeah, we stayed together Like you prayed that we would When you can't remember I'll tell you we broke the cycle Yeah, we stayed together Like you prayed that we would Oh, they don't make heroes like they used to And every hero's gonna have their December When you can't remember When you can't remember
