Chorus
I wish the past would last forever
Never wanted us to change.
But now that you’re gone
I know that it’ll never be the same
I wish the past would last forever. (yeah)
I wish the past would last forever.
Verse 1
We’d get wild and tear it up
Well-known ’round the area
No backin’ down
No one’s scared o’ none.
You run that mouth
You better not be bluffin’
I remember when they hauled you
To jail over that warrant
And I came and posted your bail
While I was drunk.
Boy, it’s hard to believe
That all of these memories are just that.
All I have left are you and me,
And now it’s in the past.
Had I known that I don’t have long
To hold on to what we had
Had I held on a hell of a lot hard,
Cuz now I want it back,
Back to what’s left.
And over that Green thirty pack
Back to ridin’ them storms out in my boat
While we were after them bass.
Back to the basics
Before I realized what I had…
Wouldn’t last.
Chorus
I wish the past would last forever
Never wanted us to change.
But now that you’re gone
I know that it’ll never be the same
I wish the past would last forever. (yeah)
I wish the past would last forever.
Verse 2
We were supposed to be doin’
This together, Russ.
Named your daughter after me,
And I still ain’t met her but
I will soon.
I’mma tell her how cool her dad was.
How he’s the reason that Charlie Farley’s
Even got this buzz. Fact.
I know it’s sad but,
I’m glad God made sure our paths crossed
To guarantee, without that,
My *** wouldn’t ever hit that asphalt.
I’d have been dropped as nobody.
Rappin’ like no one in Arkansas.
Pointin’ fingers make it look someone’s fault
And runnin’ from the law.
But, oh no,
We livin’ it up now
Doin’ everythin’ they said
We’d never do.
Got the entire country gettin’ down.
Turn back with backwards route
Yeah, this’ that Russ kinda sound.
I love you,
I’mma keep it like we used to say
Locked down.
Chorus
I wish the past would last forever
Never wanted us to change.
But now that you’re gone
I know that it’ll never be the same
I wish the past would last forever. (yeah)
I wish the past would last forever.
