Heartache and Memories

Country and cowboys
PB&J
Old pickup trucks
And rusty tailgates

The stars and the sky
No show and Jones
But one stands above them
And it's set in stone

Nothing goes together 
Like heartache and memories 
Once you've loved it or lived it
It's like a disease

What's gone from our eyes
Our minds still see
That nothing goes together
Like heartache and memories 

Like the first time you made love
The who and the where
The now empty seat
Of a table and chairs

The smell of the house
At grandma's on Sunday 
Still take me back
To a much better place

Nothing goes together 
Like heartache and memories 
Once you've loved it or lived it
It's like a disease

What's gone from our eyes
Our minds still see
That nothing goes together
Like heartache and memories 

You can't turn back time
Just the hands on a clock
There's no use in trying
Cause it never stops

Like living and dying
Is just A to Z
When you become the heartache 
You become a memory 

When you become a heartache 
You become a memory
