When I was eight years old
I'd spend all day catching toads
To throw them in the river
Just throw them in the river
My mother told me boy
Don't let these people tell
You that you won't be nothing
You'll always be my baby
I think about her some
Being her youngest son
And whether or not I'm living
Up to the things I could be
I think about her some
Laying out in the sun
Telling me to be careful
Sorry I wasn't careful
The further that we run
We run away together
The less I can remember
The less I can remember
And that's exactly how
I wanted it to work
This day will last forever
Today will last forever
You lost your wedding ring
I told you not to worry
My mother pawned hers only
To pay rent one December
You lost your wedding ring
And now you're crying only
This day won't last forever
That's why I don't remember
