Emerson Drive - Still Got Yesterday lyrics

rate me

(Brad Mates/Greg Barnhill)

She was the love of my life, back in '95

We hardly spent a day and night apart

We were victims of a lonely heart

I remember that day, it all went away

When I think about it even now

I find a reason to smile, somehow

(Chorus:)

'Cause I've still got yesterday, running wild, yesterday

When I close my eyes I drift away

Back where I come from

Today may not be fair and tomorrow may not be there

But I've still got yesterday

Zack was the one to hang around

We used to drive through town

With all the girls in his daddy's car

Said he was going to be a big league star

But it was raining one night and he didn't see the red light

Now there's a stone where he used to be

And everybody cries but me

(Chorus)

I've heard people say

You learn the future by the past

If it's any indication then I'm looking back

(Chorus 2:)

'Cause I've still got yesterday, running wild, yesterday

When I close my eyes I drift away

Back where I come from

Yesterday, when we had our dreams, yesterday, loud and free

I steal away and find that summer sun

Today may not be fair and tomorrow may not be there

But I've still got yesterday
