Lyrics

Carry Your Memory
1st verse
She was 5ft tall and 100 pounds soakin' wet,
Had a heart of gold that was bigger than the sky
But if you said one nasty thing about her grandson,
She'd cuss you like a sailor 'til you cry
She'd say, Sugar I don't care,
How pretty those girls may be,
There ain't a damn one on this earth,
That will love you more than me.
Chorus
There aint a day go's by, that she don't cross my mind,
She was the rock that I would lean on, every time I questioned "why"
But the day the good lord took her home and set my grandma free,
She whispered with her final breath, I'll carry your memory with me.
Verse 2
She was the biggest fan I had, when I played my songs,
Always sat there on that front row,
Even when it was just her and a few drunk friends of mine,
She'd fire up that lighter and let it glow,
Was the courage that I needed
The drug I couldn't afford,
But when I looked into those eyes,
I knew I'd hit that chord.
Chorus
There aint a day go's by, that she don't cross my mind,
She was the rock that I would lean on, every time I questioned "why"
But the day the good lord took her home and set my grandma free,
She whispered with her final breath, I'll carry your memory with me.
Guitar Solo
Bridge
Well I know she's looking down on me from a better place,
I can feel her presence there on that front row,
And when I take that stage at night, I'm not scared anymore
'cause I carry her memory with me,,,,,,,,,everywhere I go........

Final Chorus/ resolution/ lyrics slightly different
There ain't a day go's by, that she don't cross my mind,
She was the rock that I would lean on, every time I questioned "why"
But the day the good lord takes me home and sets my spirit free
I won't forget...the times we had
I'm carrying her memory with me.
