Lyrics
Driving Back Memories
Verse
I was driving late one night, down highway number one, in New Mexico.
Feelin? kinda tired, my eyes were gettin? heavy, so I turned on the radio.
The music took me back to another place in time, when I was just a teen.
The songs now are so different, but the ones that I remembered came back to me.
(talk this line ~~>) I thought about
Chorus
The Old Rugged Cross, Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art
In The Garden, Just As I Am, He Touched Me
Rock of Ages Cliff For Me, He lives, On Calvary
I?ll Fly Away, and Just A Closer Walk With Thee
Verse
You know this new modern music, with all it?s shouting, has such a powerful message.
The young people love it, and it changes lives in so many ways
But for me there was a little country church, one Sunday morning
Where Jesus touched my soul ,and washed all my sins away
(talk this line ~~~>) And the choir was singing
Chorus
The Old Rugged Cross, Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art
In The Garden, Just As I Am, He Touched Me
Rock Of ages Cliff For Me, He lives, On Calvary
I?ll Fly Away, Just A Closer Walk With Thee
