Title: Words by Heart Artist: Billy Ray Cyrus Album: This won’t be the Last Intro: (Note: Muted strumming throughout verses open strumming throughout chorus and bridge.) I was going through the closet back in my old home Found my lettermans jacket so I slipped it on Deep in the pocket still folded up tight Was the letter you wrote to tell me goodbye The minute I saw it I just had to smile It smelled like old leather as smooth as a child I took a deep breath and put it away There was no need to read it I knew just what it would say I know the words by heart I know every line >From this ain’t easy To you’ll get along just fine I know every comma every question mark No I don’t have to look I know the words by heart Scenes like old movies flash through my head The homecoming game the night on my bed The words that you wrote still cut me in two How you said you still cared but that we were through Bridge Ain’t it funny how a memory Can play tricks on your mind I don’t remember a thing from my classes But I can quote you every line I took off my jacket and put it away With your note in the pocket like I found it that day Poured me a beer then pictured your face And drank a silent toast to things that time can’t erase
