American Aquarium - Waking Up the Echoes lyrics

How's your momma
I haven't seen your folks in ages
She was always kind
Had the best sweet tea high
School me'd ever tasted
Weddings and funerals used to
Always get me down
These days they seem to be the only thing
That ever brings me back to time

And I wish you'da called me
Maybe I coulda talked you down
But the thing that I wish most of
All is that you were still around

I can't help but laugh about all
The trouble that we got
Into in the back of that
Short Sugar's parkin' lot
All the life we lived
All the plans that we'd discuss
Before Milwaukee's best snuck up and
Got the best of us

And I wish you'da called me
Maybe I coulda talked you down
But the thing that I wish most of
All is that you were still around

I still hear your voice when
I cross that county line
Wakin' up the echoes in the
Canyons of my mind
Hold on to the good times
Leave the bad ones for the plough
It ain't goodbye for ever friend
It's just goodbye for now

And I wish you'da called me
Maybe I coulda talked you down
But the thing that I wish most of
All is that you were still around
I wish that you were still around
