Chasing Raccoons and Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Summer nights and firefly light Friends all gathered by the shore Someone said you gotta meet this guy He was diggin' through the cans Chasin' raccoons with his bare hands At Baybeach, I couldn't look away [Chorus] Here's to the love that won't let go Through every high and every low We don't say goodbye, that word's too strong See you later or later is the only way we say "goodbye" Goodbye to Rick means forever So we just keep holdin' on [Verse 2] Told my mama we were at the movies While you hosted parties in the woods High school sweethearts sneakin' through the pines Said "I do" at nineteen, you twenty-one Didn't know what storms would come But Rick, I'd choose you every time [Chorus] Here's to the love that won't let go Through every high and every low We don't say goodbye, that word's too strong See you later or later is the only way we say "goodbye" Goodbye to Rick means forever So we just keep holdin' on [Bridge] Eight long years of waiting and of tears Three little angels we had to release Then heaven opened up and gave us three And every heartache finally made sense [Verse 3] Thirty-eight years and those hazel eyes Still shine beneath that bald head glow You're my comfort, you're my steady ground From that boy beside the garbage cans To the man who holds my hand Rick, you're every prayer I found [Chorus] Here's to the love that won't let go Through every high and every low We don't say goodbye, that word's too strong See you later or later is the only way we say "goodbye" Goodbye to Rick means forever So we just keep holdin' on [Outro] See you later, my love Always later, never gone
