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)
