intro
There′s one thing that we all share, and that is family
You see, with the love of family, we can achieve
verse
Gulfstream, I ain’t talkin′ ’bout the Gulf that’s under Tennessee
I′m talkin′ ’bout that kinda slide high with two wings
Remember auntie picked me up in a dirty limousine
Think I was seven then, growing up I was 17
Growing up we never cut it for expensive things
That′s why when money came by, it’s more real to me
The whole family came together just to raise me
I know I′m home, I smell my pot of sweet tea
chorus
And all those sweet, sweet memories
Know it’s all coming back to me
Know it′s all coming back
Like I was just there, I was just there
Time goes by, feels like I was just there, I was just there
verse
Drive by a new house like we was just there
Uncle Leroy killed that man on the front porch
Last time I got to see him was in 94
Marsha burned his head down on a blowtorch
My cousin got sent on the road, no airport
Just a long, long line with an escort
Think about the mission that you’re too late and you can’t abort
It make you really reconsider life, what′s important
And make you really reconsider what you do it for
What you do it for, what you love more
What would you miss more?
All the memories of the times now I remember
And can′t take back, so really we gotta live again, yeah, yeah
Like what you do it for, what would you miss more?
What would you love more?
All the memories of the times now I’m remembering
Can′t take back, so we might as well live again
Yeah, my granny never even cussed and she got Alzheimer’s
Real gold, greatest of all time
I can′t remember a time when I ain’t see her smiling
I never thought that I′d be here today living without her
I know she looking down on me and she’s so proud
Alabama roofs on the Georgia border
Back to back station wagons to Miami, Florida
Walkie-talkies, blue service when we cross the border
No cell phone, just a Motorola
Uncle Bob on the grill, everybody comin’ over
It′s a party where we at
Hands up, baby, thank God that we out here
chorus
I put it all on you
And all those sweet, sweet memories
Sweet, sweet
We was just there, we was just there
Time goes by, I feel like
We was just there, we was just there
bridge
We was just there, we was just there
Fanny on the front porch in a rocking chair
Like we was just there, we was just there
On the corner bussing plates, we was just there
Sunny days, on the rain, we was still there
Sweet, sweet memories
Sweet, sweet memories
outro
It′s all coming back to me this time (it’s all coming back)
Can′t take it with you so you gotta go and spend it
I’ma show you how to live, so you gotta go and spend it
′Cause the truth is, we all got time limits, so I gotta live it
Alright now, God be the witness for the
