♫ Verse 1:
             B                                 E
They finally tore down that old barn along the highway
B                               E
It's been falling down since my mom was seventeen
      C#m                     F#
Where she and her high school sweetheart
           E
Took their shirts off in the dark
C#m                    F#
She wanted more but he kissed her
              E
And said he'd never go that far
  B        E
Not yet
  B        E
Not yet

♫ Verse 2:
   B                           E
He enlisted in the Army on the day he turned eighteen
    B                                 E
And don't you know he made the finest soldier you ever seen
       C#m        F#
On the day he was shipping out
    E
His mama held his hand
         C#m                          F#
She said "I wish you didn't want to go
          E
You don't have to be a man
  B        E
Not yet"
  B        E
Not yet


♫ Bridge:
   F#                    E         B
At night he dreams he'll be by her side
   F#                      E
He holds her little wallet picture so tight


♫ Verse 3:
       B                        E
It was hot day in July when the phone rang
B                          E
  She don't remember now exactly what was said
        C#m                  F#
All she heard was the voice inside her head
        E
There'd be no wedding day
          C#m        F#
No picket fences, no wedding ring
   E
No Mrs., no baby swing
C#m           F#
   No flowers all in bloom
   E
No bride's bouquet, no soldier groom
    C#m            F#
The future fell before her eyes
    E
"Oh no," she cried, "oh no,
  B        E
Not yet"
  B        E
Not yet
  B        E
Not yet
  B        E
Not yet


♫ Verse 4:
          B                                 E
We took a drive out past the farm along the highway
B                              E
 Forty years come and gone and now that barn is too
C#m               F#
  Looking out the window
    E
She smiled and she said
       C#m                  F#
Honey, you should love with all your heart
      E
Baby, you should make that bet
                 C#m
'Cause no matter what
          F#        E
Someday a memory is all that you'll have left
        C#m        F#
Oh, but I still remember
    E
The day we first met
    C#m         F#          E
And I have this flame in my heart

And it hasn't gone out yet
  B        E
Not yet
  B        E
Not yet
  B        E
Not yet
