From the recording Backroads and Backstories
Never Forget is a heartfelt country song about showing up for the moments that matter—sitting in the stands, cheering from the sidelines, and watching them grow right in front of you. It’s a reminder that time moves fast, but presence leaves a mark.
The song centers on a simple truth: kids may not remember every word you say, but they never forget who was there. The rides to the game, the muddy cleats, the small victories and quiet disappointments—all of it adds up to something lasting.
Grounded, sincere, and emotionally resonant, Never Forget is about choosing time over convenience, memory over distraction, and understanding that the moments you make room for today become the ones they carry forever.
Lyrics
You take off your boots every evening at five
Been chasin’ that paycheck tryin’ to survive
And a glove in the grass
A boy who keeps askin’
Why time moves so fast
Never forget
Go to the game and watch ’em grow
Never forget
’Cause if you don’t you’re gonna miss the show
It’s a blink and it’s gone like the crack of a bat
You can’t get those moments back
So trade in that overtime for time
You’ll never regret
’Cause they’ll never forget
’Cause they’ll never forget
Peanut’s crunchin’ and cheers in the stands
And a boy with a hat throwin’ heat overhand
It ain’t winnin’ it’s the time that you spend
That teach little hearts how love never ends
Never forget
Go to the game and watch ’em grow
Never forget
’Cause if you don’t you’re gonna miss the show
It’s a blink and it’s gone like the crack of a bat
You can’t get those moments back
So trade in that overtime for time
You’ll never regret
’Cause they’ll never forget
’Cause they’ll never forget
The scoreboard won’t matter at all
When they pack up and leave
One more breath to breathe
Never forget
Go to the game and watch ’em grow
Never forget
’Cause if you don’t you’re gonna miss the show
It’s a blink and it’s gone like the crack of a bat
You can’t get those moments back
So trade in that overtime for time
You’ll never regret
’Cause they’ll never forget
’Cause they’ll never forget
