1st Verse
  
  The first time I met Davey it was 1985
  We were three sheets to the wind and a couple 'a tokes over the line
  But I've replayed that moment like a movie in my mind
  The first time I met Davey it was 1985
  
  2nd Verse
  
  The next time I saw Davey it was at a high school dance
  He was with my best friend Mary, I was singin' with the band
  My life passed before me in that passin' glance
  And I knew I'd never be the same again
  
  Chorus
  
  And I sing
  Davey runs through the roses
  And Davey runs through my mind
  Thinkin' that the road I chose was the best one at the time
  Those mem'ries they're just moments
  You wish would never end
  But they never stay, they just float away
  Like ashes in the wind
  
  3rd Verse
  
  Davey married Mary and went on with his life
  So I went and found a husband and tried to be a wife
  But I knew from I Do, deep down it wasn't right
  And that's why I'm lookin' back alone tonight
  
  2nd Chorus
  
  And I sing
  Davey runs through the roses
  And Davey runs through my head
  Wishin' that the road I chose was another one instead
  Those mem'ries they're just moments
  You pray will never end
  But they never stay, they just float away
  Like ashes in the wind
