Every Lyric From Miley Cyrus' New Album 'Younger Now' 

Listen To Every Song Of The Summer Since 1958 In Our Ultimate Mega-Mix 

Almost every Sunday we'd gather around the home place 

That's badly in need of my mamma's loving hand 

Us kids we offered everything from easy chairs to money 

But his pride won't let us lend a helping hand. 

Chorus: 

Daddy's living off the memories of mama 

That's what keeps him goin' everyday 

The only trips he ever takes are high upon that mountain 

Where mama lies a-sleeping in the shade. 

From the porch I see a memory he didn't have the heart to sell 

And through the dust and all the rust I can see some faded green 

It's that '47 pick-up, Oh, my mama loved so well 

When we loaded up and followed our dreams. 

Chorus: 

Daddy's living off the memories of mama 

That's what keeps him goin' everyday 

The only trips he ever takes are high upon that mountain 

Where mama lies a-sleeping in the shade. 

Chorus: 

Daddy's living off the memories of mama.
