There's a page back in my memory That I turn from time to time A picture of a long haired country girl With her heart wrapped up in mine Full moon over a gravel road We knew what we'd find [CHORUS] Sweet Auburn, sometimes it's like I never knew you Sometimes I gotta go back to you Even if it's only in my mind Sweet Auburn, a dream beyond imagination You'll always be my inspiration You were the best of times Sweet Auburn There's a young man deep inside of me Who will always wonder why You never can relive your first true love No matter how you try There have been days you made me laugh out loud And nights alone I've cried [REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]
