Brad Thomas Project - Highland Home (feat. Kaylee Jordan) Lyrics

There's a picture on the wall of another place and time
Before mama got sick and daddy lost the battle in his mind
They're sitting on their Harley overlooking the bluff
It's a crying shame time took more than enough

Daddy built that home by hand from a small lakeside shack
Nailing board by board while the world was on his back
They raised three strong kids, watched over until grown
Mama had one before they had two of their own

Time goes by, ain't no lie
Holding on to where all the seeds of love were sown
Every night I hold tight
To all those precious memories of my, my Highland home

Daddy worked the railroad, gave his time to TCI
He loved Johnny Cash, he put a sparkle in his eye
Mama sold her dresses in an old small town store
I remember the time she couldn't work it anymore

Dedicated to each other in a manner seldom seen
When it came to family, nothing could come between
Mama got sick and we knew that time was close
We watched daddy slowly fade away into a ghost

Time goes by, ain't no lie
Holding on to where all the seeds of love were sown
Every night I hold tight
To all those precious memories of my, my Highland home

I visit in my dreams on some nights
Keeping memories close is a fight
How I wish that I could go back to find
All of us at home one last time

My mind is not as sharp as it was long ago
The years took my youth and chip away at my soul
They can never steal away what's etched in my heart
Memories and love are things that never fall apart

Time goes by, ain't no lie
Holding on to where all the seeds of love were sown
Every night I hold tight
To all those precious memories of my, my Highland home

My Highland home
