Carved In Stone

Hey Sally It's been years since I had the chance to come back here To our hometown Been hanging out on the courthouse square By the old memorial there Reading names of local heroes A few more years A few more names A few more tears cried at this place And more prayers than we'll ever know For memories carved in stone

Hey Sally I just saw your daughter down in Arkansas And she's doing fine She’s got two dogs and a piece of land Built a cabin with her own hands Over three years in the summertime She's got your eyes Got your steel Takes on the world like it's no big deal I've always loved her like my own Like a promise carved in stone

The roads we chose to take Took us separate ways before I had the chance to say ...

Hey, hey Sally You were the best big sister I could ever have And I miss you How we'd walk down here on a summer night Talkin' about the things we'd like To see and do when we had the time But that was then And now I stand with Two inch letters beneath my hand Lieutenant Katherine Sally Jones Forever carved in stone
