Like You Were Mine
Chasing Shadows of Love: Jason Aldean's Poignant Journey Through Memory Lanes
Lyrics
I blew right past that city limit sign
I drove past the city limit sign
Into that little town we used to own
Entered the small town we once owned
The Co-op and the Quik Stop were all boarded up
The Co-op and Quik Stop are closed
And those yellow lines faded on the road
Yellow lines on the road have faded
Man I swear I can still hear you singing
Recalls hearing you sing like an angel
Like an angel through my Chevy stereo
Through the car stereo
On every turn, every street, I drive down a memory
Every street echoes memories
You're everywhere we used to go
You're present in places we frequented
I still look for your car
Still searching for your car
I still stop at the bar on the weekend, drinking too much Crown
Stops at the bar, drinks too much Crown
I'm still chasing the buzz, yeah that used to be us
Chasing the past buzz when we were together
Keeps me up like we're still going down
Feels like the old times
Still feeling you like we never said goodbye
Still senses your presence, as if no goodbye was said
Like you were mine
As if you still belonged to me
Sometimes this tinker back truck
A truck convinces him to burn gas
Talks me into burning gas
Passes your house but never brings you back
Past your house
A little south where the gravel runs out
Drives south where the gravel road ends
But it never brings you back
No reunion, you're not returning
I still look for your car
Still looking for your car
I still stop at the bar on the weekend, drinking too much Crown
Bar visits, excessive Crown consumption persist
I'm still chasing the buzz, yeah that used to be us
Chasing the past buzz, reminiscing about 'us'
Keeps me up like we're still going down
Feels like the past is still alive
Still feeling you like we never said goodbye
Still feels your presence, no formal goodbye
Baby, like you were mine
As if you're still his
Oh yeah, still feels you're mine
Emphasizes the persistent feeling of possession
Man I swear I can still hear you singing
Reiterates hearing your angelic singing in memories
Like an angel through my Chevy stereo
Memories echo through the car stereo
On every turn, every street, I drive down a memory
Recalls memories at every turn and street
You're everywhere we used to go
Presence felt in all familiar places
I still look for your car
Continues searching for your car
I still stop at the bar on the weekend, drinking too much Crown
Bar visits persist, Crown consumption remains
I'm still chasing the buzz, yeah that used to be us
Chasing the buzz of the past, reminiscent of 'us'
Keeps me up like we're still going down
Feels like the past is still active
Still feeling you like we never said goodbye
Still feels your presence, no formal goodbye
Baby, like you were mine
As if you're still his
Yeah it still feels like you're mine
Emphasizes the persistent feeling of possession
Man I swear I can still hear you singing
Reiterates hearing your angelic singing in memories
Like an angel through my Chevy stereo
Memories echo through the car stereo
On every turn, every street, I drive down a memory
Recalls memories at every turn and street
You're everywhere we used to go
Presence felt in all familiar places
