Long winters out in Idaho
Can bring a man to his knees
Keep the fire in your heart warm
And keep an eye on the police
Start forgetting what you're here for
Yeah, trouble always knew your name
But since you passed away
I gotta say, the town don't feel the same
Could hear the town talkin'
Yeah, they knew it just wasn't fair
As they kept you on a tight rope
Even after you paid the bail
I can't say that I blame ya
Sometimes think I'd do the same
Yeah, a couple of drinks
Part of me thinks
That you still got away
It's been a hard road, Andy
But don't let it get you down
I gotta say, we sure miss having you around
Short-lived, but we all know
It'll be a long time before you're gone
Yeah, we'll remember your name
As we keep on keepin' on
I've been in and out of town now
Heard that you were in and out of jail
Heard they kept you in a headlock
Even after you paid the bail
Saw you down at the carnival
Yeah, your smile still looked the same
Yeah, a couple of drinks
And part of me thinks
That you still got away
It's been a hard road, Andy
But don't let it get you down
I gotta say, we sure miss having you around
Short-lived, but we all know
It'll be a long time before you're gone
Yeah, we'll remember your name
As we keep on keepin' on
I would have said bye one more time
If I'd have known
It would be the last time
I'd see your face
I would have said bye one more time
Yeah, if I'd have known
It would be the last time
I'd see your face
Oh, if I'd have known
Oh, if I'd have known
Oh, if I'd have known
Oh, if I'd have known
It's been a hard road, Andy
But don't let it get you down
I gotta say, we sure miss having you around
Short-lived, but we all know
It'll be a long time before you're gone
Oh, we'll remember your name
As we keep on keepin' on
Yeah, remember your name
Oh, yeah
We'll remember your name
We'll remember your name
As we keep on keepin' on
