Verso 1

Of all the things I remember
Of growing up on the west side
Always got the best sunsets

Verso 2

Grillin’ out on the back porch
Neighbor kids in the parking lot
Sister riding on the handle bars

Pre Coro 1

I spent most of the Eighties
Driving my mama crazy
Still don’t know how
She made it through
After my dad left I would see him
Like every other weekend
Guess he was just human too

Coro

But right now I’m feeling the ache
I didn’t build this house
But I carry the weight
Between the memories
And the mistakes
I can’t tell if it’s hurt or healing
But I’m feeling the ache

Verso 3

Grillin’ out on the back porch
Neighbor kids in the parking lot
Sister riding on the handle bars

Verso 4

He sat there and just listened
I said things he didn’t know I knew
Then he cried when I forgave him

Pre Coro 2

That’s the business of forgiveness
You can say God as my witness
But your heart doesn’t forget
Least it hasn’t happened yet

Coro

But right now I’m feeling the ache
I didn’t build this house
But I carry the weight
Between the memories
And the mistakes
I can’t tell if it’s hurt or healing
But I’m feeling the ache

Refrain

I'm feeling I'm feeling

Puente

I still drive by those apartments
Where we lived when you lived with us
Those were the happiest days back then
I got kids of my own now
I know it’s hard to be a man
Believe me I can understand

Pre Coro

But right now I’m feeling the ache
It’s about as much as I can take

Coro

Right now I’m feeling the ache
I didn’t build this house
But I carry the weight
Between the memories
And the mistakes
I can’t tell if it’s hurt or healing
But I’m feeling the ache

Refrain

I'm feeling I'm feeling
