♫ 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

♫ 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"

♫ 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

♫ 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
