| "Starin' Down The Barrel Of My Memory" is one of those songs that arrived out of thin air, and wrote itself. I'm not really sure where it came from, or what to say about it... but, as they say in a lot of political ads, "I approve this message". - Steve H. |
1) I've
come to the place / where the future ends / and the past
begins
Face
to face / with all my real and imagined sins
And lookin' back /
I can see the road ahead
I'm goin' wanderin' / where wise men fear to tread
But that's all
right / I kinda like the mystery
I'm starin' down
the barrel / of my memory
2) I've
loved and lost / but many times / I've loved and won
Been
star-crossed / but I've had my moments / in the sun
I've sung my
little songs / in a thousand different towns
Never made millions / but I've had more ups than downs
And all in all /
I'd say / that life's been good to me
I'm starin' down
the barrel / of my memory
bridge: Starin' down the barrel / of my
memory
The way it was /
the way it is / the way it's gonna be
3) Here's
to those I remember / and those I can't forget
Those
who walk beside me / and those I haven't met
Now I see all
their eyes / smilin' back at me
I'm starin' down
the barrel / of my memory
coda: I've come to the place / where the future ends / and the past begins.
