(Walt Aldridge, John Jarrard)

You know everyday I walk down memory lane
Trying to find a way past the same old pain
Ah you know, but now the message is loud and it's clear
There ain't no way to get there from here

Chorus:
Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are
I got the bleeding stopped but there's gonna be a scar
I know I'll go on living but you're always gonna be around
Deep down, deep down

Well, I know an old soldier who walks with a limp
>From a war he's still fightin' inside of him
And just like me he'll go to his grave
Nursin' a pain that won't go away

(Chorus)

Maybe I really don't wanna be through
With all the memories I have of you
We had some bad times but we had good times too

(Chorus)

You'll always be around
Deep do
