D'Mention – Where He Came From lyrics

He remembers what the rubber smelled like
On the ball he used for kickball in grade school
He remembers what the water smelled like
On the lake he fished during childhood

And if he could do it over again,
He would not miss a thing

He remembers what it felt like
To have the weather deem a day off from school
He remembers the taste of the water
When he forgot to close his mouth on a dive in his best friend's pool

And if he could do it over again
He would not miss a thing
And if he could do it over again
He'd feel just like a king

Chorus:
If work begins at 8 he shows at 9
On occasion he loses track of time
Sometimes he forgets the way to get home at the end of the day
If work were done at 6 he'd leave by 5 and forget about any important deadlines
He forgets the day of his birthday
But he never forgets where he came from and he never will

He remembers what her hair smelled like
When he kissed his first girlfriend in high school
He remembers what the cheers sounded like
When his friends screamed 'cause they thought his band was cool

And if he could do it over again
He would not change a thing
And if he could do it over again
He would not miss a thing

Chorus
