Some Things You Don't Forget
Jason Aldean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gets me high for a little while and then it's over
She ain't one of those move-on Mondays
Back to normal, nothing weighin' on you
Wish I could leave it all behind me
Without ever looking back
Well, she's a buzz that still runs through my head
With a girl like that
I swear, sometimes, I wish we'd never met
Yeah, 'cause some things you don't forget
That boardwalk neon blue shining on her lips
I still can taste that sweet Malibu on her
That wild in her eyes, laid me down by the water
That summer-night high tide washing up on us
Wish I could leave it all behind me
Without ever looking back
Well, she's a buzz that still runs through my head
And goodbye don't come easy
With a girl like that
I swear, sometimes, I wish we'd never met
Yeah, 'cause some things you don't forget
She's a buzz that still runs through my head
No, I can't forget
No, I can't forget
I still can taste that sweet
Wish I could leave it all behind me
Without ever looking back
Oh, she's a buzz that still runs through my head
And goodbye don't come easy
With a girl like that
Oh, I swear, sometimes, I wish we'd never met
Yeah, 'cause some things you don't forget

I hope it is . I left mine way too early I was stubborn spoiled and oh so home sick .
I had it all but needed my family I wanted them bear while our first child was being raised
Looking back all these years later GOD he was such a good man ! Doubtful I’ll ever find another man such as he !
I’ll always love him we had forbidden love and went against our families to be together later they accepted it and we had a second huge wedding for them .
If you love them STAY

I disdained country music most of my life though my fam was crazy about it
Took my mom to a Reba concert as a surprise long ago and I thought I’d rather die
But this is the best music I jam out to it all day long
I was closing on my home and your Rearview Town came on my YouTube and I’ve been hooked for three years and can’t believe I missed all you and other greats like Whiskey Myers Stapleton And Whalen to name a few
The guitar in this is 🔥🔥🔥

This song is a powerful song to me! Jason aldeans music helped me through some really hard times in my life after finally being able to break free from a narcassist that robbed me 10yrs of my life Ive been away from him for 4years and I can honestly say I'm so freaking glad I did! I have lots of scars but I'm getting better each day! He then died of a drug overdose Aug 6 2022 and I can honestly say I feel like I can finally breathe
