Words By Heart in Billy Ray Cyrus

I was going through the closet, back in my old home
Found my lettermans jacket, so I slipped it on
Deep in the pocket, still folded up tight
Was the letter you wrote, to tell me goodbye
The minute I saw it, I just had to smile
It smelled like old leather, as smooth as a child
I took a deep breath, and put it away
There was no need to read it, I knew just what it would say

I know the words by heart
I know every line
From this ain't easy
To you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look
I know the words by heart

Scenes like old movies, flash through my head
The homecoming game, the night on my bed
The words that you wrote, still cut me in two
How you said you still cared, but that we were through

Repeat Chorus

Ain't it funny how a memory
Can play tricks on your mind
I don't remember a thing from my classes
But I can quote you every line

I took off my jacket, and put it away
With your note in the pocket, like I found it that day
Poured me a beer, then pictured your face
And drank a silent toast, to things that time can't erase

Repeat Chorus X2
