Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse]
The town is just a dot
That barely makes the maps
Driving down the hill
The memories haven’t lapsed

It won’t mean much to many
But a city’s worth of stories
Dances through my head
From a time before these worries

I come around the bend
And the four room brick house
Where I was born and lived
Stands firm against my doubts

[Chorus]
Everyone has that place
That reminds us what is real
That renews our strength
A place no troubles can steal
You don’t need to go there
If it’s in your memory still
But when you find you need to
Let your memory go where it will

[Verse]
I cross over the bike trail
Where the trains used to run
The engineers blew the whistle
Letting us know we were someone

Georgie’s breadbox house
Where we all gathered to play
Is gray and wind whipped
But I still see it in its day

The old station where Gus
Poured your gas, smoking a cigar
Is a lot the little country store
Hopes will someday fill with cars

[Chorus]
Everyone has that place
That reminds us what is real
That renews our strength
A place no troubles can steal
You don’t need to go there
If it’s in your memory still
But when you find you need to
Let your memory go where it will

[Bridge]
By the time I round the cemetery
The accusations and the leaving
Are background white noise
This town makes easy breathing

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Everyone has that place
That reminds us what is real
That renews our strength
A place no troubles can steal
You don’t need to go there
If it’s in your memory still
But when you find you need to
Let your memory go where it will

[Outro]
