Eric Church - Those I've Loved lyrics

rate me

I remember waitin' by the curb with Mr. Murphy<br />

When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red<br />

We drove to the hospital in a hurry<br />

Where my family gathered 'round my grandpa's bed<br />

<br />

He was my best friend, he taught me how to fish<br />

And I cried listenin' to my daddy pray<br />

For one of those I've loved along the way<br />

<br />

She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her<br />

That whole next year we couldn't get enough<br />

After graduation she took off for Denver<br />

And for a while we both tried to keep in touch<br />

<br />

She was my best friend and it broke my heart<br />

But I don't regret the day that she became<br />

One of those I've loved along the way<br />

<br />

And I hope they know I never would've made it this far on my own<br />

'Cause where would we all be without those<br />

Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers<br />

The friends I've made, the long lost lovers<br />

I wouldn't be who I am today<br />

If not for those I've loved along the way, along the way<br />

<br />

Now I'm just a country boy with a guitar<br />

Lookin' back down this old road I've been travelin' on<br />

It was never about tryin' to be some big star<br />

For me it's always been about these songs<br />

<br />

You see they're my best friends, they're the life I live<br />

And I hope they've put a smile on the face<br />

Of those that I've loved along the way<br />

'Cause I wouldn't be the man I am today<br />

If not for those I've loved along the way, aong the way, along the way<br /><br />
