[Verse 1]
Like a set of black marks tattooed on a highway
Like some cheap light beer or that Georgia clear that got us a little sideways
Like a first love's tears and taillights, so long seventeen
Hand-me-down Ford, "For Sale" sign along with her shotgun seat

[Chorus]
Gone but not forgotten
All those memories, we got 'em
These small towns change and glory fades like all our yesterdays
Gone but not forgotten
Gone but not forgotten

[Verse 2]
And there's a little white cross on the sidе of the highway
In memories of thе ones we loved and lost that got to fly away
Reminders of the good-die-youngs all over this old town
Like all of the tears and beers we poured out on this hallowed ground

[Chorus]
Gone but not forgotten
All those memories, we got 'em
These small towns change and glory fades like all our yesterdays
Gone but not forgotten

[Bridge]
And here's to all the some-gave-alls, the ones that done come home
The ones that do, those twenty-two that died fighting the same damn war
Gone but not forgotten
All those memories, we got 'em

[Chorus]
Gone but not forgotten
All those memories, we got 'em
These small towns change and glory fades like all our yesterdays
Gone but not forgotten
Gone but not forgotten
