Song: I Just Came Home To Count The Memories Tab
I Just Came Home to Count the Memories
By John Anderson
D G D
I saw roses choking in the grass, flaking paint and a broken window pane
D Bm A
A mailbox barely standing by the driveway, I can almost read the name
G D Bm
A swing-set and forgotten toys where little girls and boys played happy games
D A D
Everything I ever cared about is gone now, but the memory still remains.
The old man from the house across the street asked, �How�s it goin�� and I said �Fine�
But the expression on his face would make me think, that he could almost read my mind.
That Johnson boy from down the road was askin� if the kids could come and play
Lord I wish I could have told him yes, but I just said, I guess no, not today.
CHORUS:
D7 G A
I just came home to count the memories
A D Bm
That I�ve been counting in my mind
Bm G A
I just came home to count the memories
A D
Of a better day and time
All the birds that sang their pretty songs aren�t singing like they did when we were here
Cause there�s no happiness in music if somebody isn�t close enough to care
I picked a ragged daisy from it�s home out in the corner the yard
She loves me - She loves me not, Now I don�t have to wonder anymore.
