This song came from an interesting source... held back memories that I thought I had lost in the back of my mind. I had a strange dream that I ran into my first love. As I was talking about the old times I remembered some details that kinda freaked me out. Like an engagement ring that I took and hid in the desert of AZ. In my dream it was like I was telling her where it can be found if she wanted it... when I woke up I was kinda like whoa... I almost forgot all about that... *headkick* wonder why I didn't just take it to a pawn. *lol* I Think it all got sparked off when I decided to persue my original plan in career of welding because at the time I was going hell bent for leather and a torch. Now that I have been practicing welding alot lately I think it just all came flooding back... emotions and all... Anyhow I wrote this song to capture some of those thoughts...

NOT REAL ENOUGH

(TO LAST)




Guess I should have never left without you
Of course then what else could I do
I carved our names in a tree in the park
I looked around hard to make us a start
Said we was forever you would never hurt me
I said the same as I gave you my hearts key
I remember our first kiss by your parents door
The ring I bought you at a local jewelry store

(CC1)
yea the memories flood me now
I guess it really was love we found
If I had the choice I would live it all over
Those days seem to be so clear and sober
I just wish those kind of days would last
Not real enough to last

I remember riding horse and talking our dreams
I wanted to be a welder what luck it brings
Today I am back in the field and I remember
All the way till you was getting married in December
(music change)
wasn't it great being young and restless
how we used to laugh till we was breathless
I guess nothing can last forever
(repeat CC1)

My lady used to talk down about you saying you was wrong
Look at what she did at least we had the excuse of being young
When you called I wish I wouldn't have said anything
Locked away in a secret place I still have your ring
How times have changed my dreams lay elsewhere
I still hold true a promise because I'm still here
I find it crazy after all these years I still find you
Deep in a place in my mind that seems like its brand new

(repeat CC1)
