(walt aldridge, john jarrard)

You know everyday i walk down memory lane
Trying to find a way past the same old pain
Ah you know, but now the message is loud and it's clear
There ain't no way to get there from here

Chorus:
Yeah i've finally realized that's the way things are
I got the bleeding stopped but there's gonna be a scar
I know i'll go on living but you're always gonna be around
Deep down, deep down

Well, i know an old soldier who walks with a limp
From a war he's still fightin' inside of him
And just like me he'll go to his grave
Nursin' a pain that won't go away

(chorus)

Maybe i really don't wanna be through
With all the memories i have of you
We had some bad times but we had good times too

(chorus)

You'll always be around
Deep down
