Sentimental Nightmares Lyrics by Guy Smith

2020

I think about my first love, too often I fear
And the day I walked away, left her drowning in her tears
Maybe I could of hung on, but it just wasn’t time
She, I what I did, still linger in my mind

I got those sentimental nightmares
And they won’t let me sleep

I’ve seen family and friends they come and then go
Where some of them ended up, I still don’t know
My home is filled with a thousand old memories
Each one haunts me more than it brings me peace

I got those sentimental nightmares
And they won’t let me sleep

Sentimental Nightmares, soft as flesh and hard as bone
Ghosts of my past they just won’t leave me alone

I’ll see a pickup truck and think my old man is in the driver’s seat
We strung miles of barb wire in the merciless summer heat
I think of him every time I knock dust off my boots
I miss the old cuss who gave me my cowboy roots

I got those sentimental nightmares
And they won’t let me sleep

Her ashes are on the mantle, in a box so small
All those years we planned out together now mean nothing at all
It so hard to see light when clouded in black
So hard to move forward when if keep looking back

I got those sentimental nightmares
And they won’t let me sleep
I got those sentimental nightmares
And they run too God damn deep
