There's a page back in my memory
That I turn from time to time
A picture of a long haired country girl
With her heart wrapped up in mine
Full moon over a gravel road
We knew what we'd find
(CHORUS)
Sweet Auburn, sometimes it's like I never knew you
Sometimes I gotta go back to you
Even if it's only in my mind
Sweet Auburn, a dream beyond imagination
You'll always be my inspiration
You were the best of times
Sweet Auburn
There's a young man deep inside of me
Who will always wonder why
You never can relive your first true love
No matter how you try
There have been days you made me laugh out loud
And nights alone I've cried
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
