"Evergreen" lyrics

I remember me and daddy cutting down our family Christmas tree
On an early morning in December, coldest winter, 1983
We were driving home to mama, snowing like we'd never seen before
Forever in my memory, red plaid apron standing in the door
For ever more

It's evergreen, it's evergreen
(It's evergreen, it's evergreen)
And I believe, it's evergreen
(It's evergreen)

Flying down highway 20, crossing that Alabama line
My heart is full of memories, like a rearview mirror in my mind
Grandaddy's telling stories, everybody's staying up all night
Without a care, without a worry, way to young to know to hold on tight
But that's alright

It's evergreen, it's evergreen
(Evergreen, evergreen)
And I believe, it's evergreen
(Evergreen)

Whoa, evergreen
(Evergreen, evergreen, evergreen)
Whoa, I know it lasts forever

Even though you're gone away, I can feel you right here by my side
Life and time keep passing by, but I got every moment memorized
For all time

It's evergreen, it's evergreen
(Evergreen, evergreen)
And I believe, it's evergreen
(Evergreen)

I remember me and daddy cutting down our family Christmas tree
Oh, oh, oh, oh evergreen
