AIt all started back in 1981.Bm' EOur life together had just beguAn. F#m I didn't know what my future would Bmhold, ABut you gavDe me a Bmchance, So IE set out on the road.
[Verse 2]
AIt wasn't easy going thenBm. TheEre were times I almost threw that old towel iAn,E F#m E F#m But you kept callin me back to Bmthe stage, AAnd I finally Dfound my place inE each and every face.
[Chorus]
DI'm not sayin I'm through bAy any means. There's Bmstill things that I Ewant to say and doA. ID hope you won't forget me, causeA we've shared a lot dreams. And just know tBmhat I'll always remeEmber you.A Bm E A
[Verse 3] [Spoken]
When I first set out on the road, I Bmfigured I had maybe 5 good years to sing my songsA for you folks. E Well, it's goin on 30 nAow And I Dstill love itE just as much as I ever did.F#m When I hear that announcer say my nameBm, DAnd I walk Athrough those curtains DAnd see your smilin' faces, AMy feet don't touch the ground again ETil I walk out and get back on that bus that got me hereA. I don't know how many more yearsBm I've got left to do this,
But I figure a few.
EI do want you to know, though, That when I do walk off this stage for the last time, F#mAnd I'm all settled Ain, awayF#m from all this, You won't be far awaBmy. I'll still hear yoF#mur screams Bmand chF#meers in my mind.D AndE I'll always remember you.
[Chorus]
DI'm not sayin I'm through Aby any means. Cause there's stBmill things that I Ewant to say and do.A I hope youD won't forget me, cause we've shaAred a lot dreams. And just Dknow that I'll alEways remember youA. You've pulledD me through some hard times. Hope I'Ave pulled you through a few. And jBmust know that ID'll always ErememAbeEr Ayou.
