Flagstaff by Morning
Saw her at the Texaco just the other day
Even more beautiful, her hair had a touch of grey
We both stood and stared at each other, couldn't say a word
Then I said "God, it's good to see you."
And she said "Well, have you heard..
"They're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tommoro
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair
She's goin' the way all things must go someda
but I will still remember you there
Yes, I will. Yes, I will
I will still remember you there."
Then I said, "Little Melissa, she's lookin' more and more like you
Saw her down on Maple Street, she's even got your same smile, too
And my Jake Jr. says 'Daddy, someday I'm gonna marry that girl.
Isn't that just perfect? Such a crazy world
"So, they're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tommorow
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair
She's goin' the way all things must go someda
but I will still remember you there
Yes, I will. Yes, I will
I will still remember you there
"Hey, can you get away tommorow
If you can't, I understan
It's just that when the big screen fall
I'd like to be holdin' your hand
holdin' your han
"when they're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tommorow
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair
She's goin' the way all things must go someda
but I will still remember you there
Yes, I will. Yes, I will
I will still remember us there.
