Those I've Loved Lyrics - Eric Church

1 I remember waitin' by the curb with Mr. Murphy

2 When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red

3 We drove to the hospital in a hurry

4 Where my family gathered round my Grandpa's bed

5 He was my best friend

6 He taught me how to fish

7 And I cried listenin to my daddy pray

8 For one of those I've loved along the way

9 She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her

10 That whole next year we couldn't get enough

11 And after graduation she took off for Denver

12 And for awhile we both tried to keep in touch

13 She was my best friend

14 And it broke my heart

15 But I don't regret the day that she became

16 One of those I've loved along the way

17 And I hope they know

18 I never woulda made it this far on my own

19 Where would we all be without those

20 Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers

21 The friends I've made, the long lost lovers

22 I wouldn't be who I am today

23 If not for those I've loved along the way

24 Along the way

25 Now I'm just a country boy with a guitar

26 Lookin' back down this old road I've been travelin' on

27 It was never about tryin' to be some big star

28 For me it's always been about these songs

29 You see they're my best friends

30 They're the life I live

31 And I hope they put a smile on the face

32 Of those that I've loved along the way

33 'Cause I wouldn't be the man I am today
