Sweet Auburn
Written by Steve Bogard, David Robbins, Larry Stewart
There’s a page back in my memory
That I turn from time to time
A picture of a long haired country girl
With her heart wrapped up in mine
Full moon over a gravel road
We knew what we’d find
(CHORUS)
Sweet Auburn, sometimes it’s like I never knew you
Sometimes I gotta go back to you
Even if it’s only in my mind
Sweet Auburn, a dream beyond imagination
You’ll always be my inspiration
You were the best of times
Sweet Auburn
There’s a young man deep inside of me
Who will always wonder why
You never can relive your first true love
No matter how you try
There have been days you made me laugh out loud
And nights alone I’ve cried
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)

14 years ago my husband and I found out we were having a little girl. We couldn’t think of a name and one day he was listening to this CD and told me he found the perfect name for our baby girl. I listened to the song “Sweet Auburn” and fell in love with it. From then on she has been our Sweet Auburn. Auburn Reigh is her name and she has big beautiful blue eyes and is definitely our long haired country girl…Sweet Auburn. Thank you for this wonderful song.
I heard “When She Cries” about two months ago for the first time since I was a young boy. Recovering a song like that is like finding the Holy Grail. I feel like I have recovered a little piece of my childhood every time I listen to the song now. Thank you guys. Please come to Iowa. Preferably Newton. We need some real good entertainment in this town, and I think you are the right guys for the job.
