آهنگ: Eric Church. Carolina. Those I've Loved.

I remember waitin' by the curb with Mr. Murphy
When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red
We drove to the hospital in a hurry
Where my family gathered 'round my grandpa's bed

He was my best friend, he taught me how to fish
And I cried listenin' to my daddy pray
For one of those I've loved along the way

She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her
That whole next year we couldn't get enough
After graduation she took off for Denver
And for a while we both tried to keep in touch

She was my best friend and it broke my heart
But I don't regret the day that she became
One of those I've loved along the way

And I hope they know I never would've made it this far on my own
'Cause where would we all be without those
Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers
The friends I've made, the long lost lovers
I wouldn't be who I am today
If not for those I've loved along the way, along the way

Now I'm just a country boy with a guitar
Lookin' back down this old road I've been travelin' on
It was never about tryin' to be some big star
For me it's always been about these songs

You see they're my best friends, they're the life I live
And I hope they've put a smile on the face
Of those that I've loved along the way
'Cause I wouldn't be the man I am today
If not for those I've loved along the way, aong the way, along the way
