Lyrics

Verse

My name's Brooken, her name's Kristina

Four little hearts that fill our arena

Adam, Breslin, Cambri, and Duncan

Memories like this, never be forgotten

Pre-chorus

We had neighbors, Bobby and Deena

From Ashley Lakes, a close-knit arena

Beckham and Cairo, boys the same age

Playing side by side on this little stage

Chorus

Though you moved away down to Pocatello

We still feel your presence, it's hard to let go

Grillin' out, ground turkey in a bag

Laughing at the past, good times never lag

Verse

Kids played basketball and jiu-jitsu with fire

Races in the yard, moments that inspire

Bobby pulled a hamstring, crawled all the way

Deena’s face told the story of that day

Pre-chorus

We shared bunkbeds from Craigslist somehow

Driving home the tiny truck didn’t allow

Kristina and Deena laughed out loud and clear

Bobby and me felt the humor near

Chorus

Though you moved away down to Pocatello

We still feel your presence, it's hard to let go

Watching Cairo score goals with that wide smile

Beckham’s braces shining all the while

Bridge

We miss those days, the laughter and the cheers

From backyard talks to the shared front porch beers

Neighbors for life, though miles apart

Your family's forever engraved in our heart

Chorus

Though you moved away down to Pocatello

We still feel your presence, it's hard to let go

Waiting for the day when we meet again

Good friends like family, forever till then

Outro

Yeah, forever till then, we'll hold on tight

To memories that glow like stars in the night
