[Verse 1]
It must've been a mountain standin' in our way
Or some small misunderstandin', we talked about too late
Was it the kitchen or the bedroom, where we let a good thing go
Was it destined dreams, or space we needed? Oh, I don't know

[Chorus]
Baby, lately my memory, ain't what it used to be at all
It's crazy, but holdin' you close to me, seein' you smile at me is all that I recall
'Cause, baby, it don't matter how hard I try
I still can't remember why we said goodbye

[Verse 2]
Maybe time's just playin' tricks on me these days
Or maybe these old feelin's never went away
'Cause all that I remember is I'm still in love with you
And if I'm losin' my mind, I hope you are too

[Chorus]
Baby, lately my memory, ain't what it used to be at all
It's crazy, but holdin' you close to me, seein' you smile at me is all that I recall
'Cause, baby, it don't matter how hard I try
I still can't remember why we said goodbye

[Outro]
It's crazy, but holdin' you close to me, seein' you smile at me is all that I recall
'Cause, baby, it don't matter how hard I try
I still can't remember why we said goodbye
Why we said goodbye
Why did we say goodbye?

Jason Aldean

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
