Remember You Young

Hey, buddies that I grew up with

All straight-laced and married up now

You ain’t foolin’ me, wasn’t long ago

We tore the roof off that one red light town

And hey, darlin’, sippin’ that red wine

All classy, kicked back on the couch

You smile and I see ya shootin’ tequila

Us shuttin’ them college bars down

And no matter how much time goes by

And no matter how much we grow up

For worse or for better, from now ’til forever

I’ll always remember you young

And hey, babies, crawlin’ on the carpet

No, you won’t be that little for long

One day, you’ll move away, but you’re still gonna stay

This innocent after you’re gone

’Cause no matter how much time goes by

And no matter how much you grow up

For worse or for better, from now ’til forever

I’ll always remember you young

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, oh, oh

Yeah, I hope when we get to Heaven

He looks at us all like we’re kids

Shameless and painless and perfect and ageless

Forgives all the wrong that we did

And no matter how much time goes by

I hope we never have to grow up

We’ll say for worse or for better, from now ’til forever

I’ll always remember you young

Whoa-oh-oh, oh

I’ll always remember you young

Review

Country musician Thomas Rhett shines on this reflective, thoughtful ballad from his fourth studio album “Center Point Road.” It commences with a lovely piano introduction. Eventually, bass, guitars, lush strings and a drum groove fill out the production. Rhett delivers a well-rounded, reflective performance.
