It was so lCong ago
That feels so Gstrange to say
How does 18 yeFars ago
Seem just like Cyesterday
A hundred kids from around the world
On a ship to the Ggreat unknown
2 boys for Fevery girl
You had never been aCway from home
Hopping around like a Ggrasshopper
I was sipping diesel Fgasoline
Then I threw up on the C????
I Fwonder if it ever Gcrosses your Cmind
Cos I'm Fafraid its something I Gdwell on all of the Ctime
I Fhear your doing aGmazing, and
CBelieve me that makes me Amsmile
But I Fhope you think of Gme every once in a Cwhile
INTRO
We watched the stCars shine
Ate chicken by the slGot machines
I was with a fFriend of mine
He got into your roCom-mate's jeans
And then we watched the Gsun appear
I took a bracelet Ffrom your wrist
You took an earring Cfrom my ear
Then kissed me so Gfucking hard
And all at once our Ffriends would leave
Our hair tangled in the Cocean breeze
I asked you if yGou were sure
You said you Fthought so
And then I said that I Cloved you too
I Fwonder if it ever Gcrosses your Cmind
Cos I'm Fafraid its something I Gdwell on all of the Ctime
I Fhear your doing aGmazing, and
CBelieve me that makes me Amsmile
But I Fhope you think of Gme every once in a Cwhile
INTRO
Georgia girl meets CTexas boy
Place in time so Gfar away
Like Leonardo Di FCaprio
But our ship sank a dCifferent way
A lifetime in four short days
Said goodbye and we Gnever looked back
A few letters always eFnded the same
I love you, did Cyou know that?
I Fwonder if it ever Gcrosses your Cmind
Cos I'm Fafraid its something I Gdwell on all of the Ctime
I Fhear your doing aGmazing, and
CBelieve me that makes me Amsmile
But I Fhope you think of Gme every once in a Cwhile
But I Fhope you think of Gme every once in a Cwhile

It was so long ago

That feels so strange to say

How does 18 years ago

Seem just like yesterday

A hundred kids from around the world

On a ship to the great unknown

2 boys for every girl

You had never been away from home

Hopping around like a grasshopper

I was sipping diesel gasoline

Then I threw up on the ????

F G C

I wonder if it ever crosses your mind

F G C

Cos I'm afraid its something I dwell on all of the time

F G

I hear your doing amazing, and

C Am

Believe me that makes me smile

F G C

But I hope you think of me every once in a while

INTRO

We watched the stars shine

Ate chicken by the slot machines

I was with a friend of mine

He got into your room-mate's jeans

And then we watched the sun appear

I took a bracelet from your wrist

You took an earring from my ear

Then kissed me so fucking hard

And all at once our friends would leave

Our hair tangled in the ocean breeze

I asked you if you were sure

You said you thought so

And then I said that I loved you too

F G C

I wonder if it ever crosses your mind

F G C

Cos I'm afraid its something I dwell on all of the time

F G

I hear your doing amazing, and

C Am

Believe me that makes me smile

F G C

But I hope you think of me every once in a while

INTRO

Georgia girl meets Texas boy

Place in time so far away

Like Leonardo Di Caprio

But our ship sank a different way

A lifetime in four short days

Said goodbye and we never looked back

A few letters always ended the same

I love you, did you know that?

F G C

I wonder if it ever crosses your mind

F G C
