Full Lyrics:

Postcard memories

(Collins/Williams)

V1:

Growing up with mama at home

And Daddy playing out on the road

All the red thumb tacks on a map hanging on my wall

He'd call me every afternoon

To tell me son I'm thinking bout you

I'm sending something your way

It'll be there soon

Pc:

I knew the mail man ran at a quarter to 5

Couldn't wait to open that rusty mailbox to see where I'm going this time

C:

I've seen the shores of California

The sands of New Mexico

Those 1000 lakes were beautiful

I’m so glad I got to go

That Grand Canyon sure was something

And I got to drive through a redwood tree

That ain't bad for a boy from Georgia

I guess I'm lucky I got to be

Sitting on the bus right beside him thanks to these

Postcard memories

V2:

They just keep rolling in

Filled another shoebox underneath my bed

If I pin em up on my wall I'd never see

Where I've been

Br:

There's a lot more red on that map than there is blue

Daddy I can’t thank you enough for taking me with you

Tag:

Sitting on this bus right beside you thanks to these
