Memories & Dreams Lyrics - Donna Hughes

I used to see my Daddy every day 

He used to race me in the Carolina sun 

Back when he was a young man 

And he could plow the fields until the day was done 

Mama played piano for the choir 

Every Sunday afternoon she cooked my favorite things 

After church we rode a dozen miles 

On old forgotten pathways, now overgrown with trees 

Chorus: Home is not the same place that it was 

Time goes by andchanges everything 

I left so many things behind me 

My favorite things I took away 

Were my memories and my dreams 

Everything I rode would fly 

In the woods by the river, and through the fields of hay 

Stirring dust and making noise 

Across a homemade finish line now lost and gone away 

Remember that old dog we used to have 

Laying on the front porch when it rained 

Sometimes I really miss my old best friend 

Buried over in the field where we used to play 

Chorus
