Lyrics

I never did forget her
Even after all these years
She said she wasnt ready then
I wasnt ready when she re-appeared.

I never thought that she
Would become another memory
It was her absolute insistence
To choose the path of most resistance.

To me she was the ocean
That my river ran to meet.
The river cant stop flowing
And the ocean cant retreat.

She called from the local station
She was just passing through
She said, â??I was filling up this old truck of mine
And got to thinking about you.

I said.so much has happened,
In your life and in mine.
Ive got a tank full of things to say
And a few gallons of your time.

Mom is getting older.
Dad has passed away.
Mary lost her little boy,
The dog turned twelve today.

The pump stopped.
We both knew we were done
She had to get off of the line.
I fit a tank full of things to say
Into a few gallons of her time.
