Lyrics
I can see her in that water
Church dress hung up in a tree
Splashing, flirting, laughing, teasing me
An afternoon of seeds
Swimming naked in a pool of dreams
Last high school summer dripping dry by Sycamore Creek
She kissed me one last time heading home
And I'm still haunted by what she said when I'm alone
She said, "You got a chance to be
Free of all these small town strings
That tie the rest of us down
So boy, quit your hanging around
Take that guitar and run
Faster than the setting sun
You can write a song later about my memory
You can always come back, you can always come back
To Sycamore Creek"
Well, the guitar made the magic
And I just hung on for the ride
I walked amongst giants, played with legends side by side
She came to see me in New Orleans
And on a tour bus after the show
I kissed goodbye the one I never should have let go
She said, "You got a chance to be
So wild on those guitar strings
Stage lights in every town
Hey look where you're hanging around
Take that guitar and run
Faster than the setting sun
You can write a song later about my memory
You can always come back, you can always come back
To Sycamore Creek"
Well, I knew she'd gotten married
And I always forget the guy's name
But he played tight end the year that we won district
It got bad and it got ugly
Through tears one night she called me
I drove ten hours to the water, I couldn't resist it
I said, "Girl, you got a chance to be
Free of all these small town strings
Cut the ties that keep you down
So girl, quit your hanging around
Take this money and run
Faster than the setting sun"
She soaked my shirt crying over memories
I said, "Don't ever come back, no, never come back
To Sycamore Creek"
