Memory Lane

from Straight Up by Dusty Woods

about

Sad country ballad about a strong man fading away. Dedicated to my Dad, Hank Woods, who died with Alzheimer's. All proceeds from this song will be donated to the Alzheimer's Society.

lyrics

He’s old, he’s supposed to forget, that’s what we would say,
When a man’s been so strong, it’s hard to watch him just fade away,
He never said much but his eyes couldn’t hide the pain,
As he stumbled and fell, walkin’ down memory lane.

He’d sit all alone, watchin’ his endless TV,
He didn’t know what was on, didn’t care, it’s just poor company,
Old friends dropped by, he couldn’t remember their names,
As he stumbled and fell, walkin’ down memory lane.

He died in the springtime, I guess he was thankful to go,
I never said goodbye, couldn't face it - too much like letting go
But oh what I’d give if I could just see him again,
Though he stumbled and fell, walkin’ down memory lane.
Oh, he stumbled and fell, walkin' down memory lane.

Dusty Woods Clementsvale, Nova Scotia

Born in BC, Canada in 1947, Dusty started performing in bands in his early teens. He was always honing his craft, learning stagecraft from more experienced performers.

Dusty passed away in Nova Scotia in 2017. The man is gone, but his music lives on. Dusty's online presence is managed by Mrs. Dusty (Jeri-Lynn Woods). My goal is to share the magic and keep the Dusty Woods legacy alive.
