ONCE BY THE MAILBOX
Words and Music by Chris Crockett

I Got Back Home a Week Ago My Mama Sure Was Proud
I Was Kinda like a Hero If You Judged by the Crowd
The Kids Wanted Autographs the Women Wore Lace
I Knew You Weren't There Cause I Checked Every Face

I Took a Drive in My Old Truck and it Started to Rain
I Thought about the Road I Took to Fortune and Fame
Then I Thought about You and Me and All of Those Years
And as I Was Driving it Drove Me to Tears

Chorus:
I Went Once by the Wooden Bridge Where We Used to Walk
Once by the Restaurant Where We Used to Talk
Once by the Old School and Once by the Train
And Once by the Mailbox That Once Had Our Name

I Remember Back in High School We'd Wait Til it Was Dark
Then We'd Meet at the Wishing Well at Callahan Park
I Went There on Saturday and Watched the Sun Set
Thinking of All We Lose to Get What We Get

Repeat Chorus

I Said Hi to Ludi to Caleb and Paul
I Sat in Our Booth at the Blue Rendezvous
My Voice on the Jukebox My Face on the Wall
And Me There Just Hoping
I'd Run into You

Repeat Chorus

Once by the Memories and Once by the Pain
And Once by the Mailbox That Once Had Our Name
