I can hear the wind a-blowing in my mind
Just the way it used to sound through the Georgia pines
You were there to answer when I called
You and me, we had it all
I remember how I used to touch your hand
While reaching for the feeling that was always there
You were the best thing in my life I can recall
You and me we had it all
I know that we can never live those times again
So I let these dreams take me back to where we've been
Then I'll stay there with you just as long as I can
Oh it was so good, oh it was so good
It was so good when I was your man
And I'll never stop believing in your smile
Even though it didn't stay, it was all worthwhile
You were the best thing in my life I can recall
You and me, we had it all
You and me, we had it all

It’s a Dobie
Gray song that we’ve always loved, and I actually had forgotten we
had
recorded it. I had also forgotten how good it was and how much I
like
it.... (I)t’s a perennial, you know what I mean? One of those
songs you
sort of warm up in the loins with, you know?
- Keith Richards, 2011
Keith sings
this one. It's an old-time country song written by Donnie Fritts
and
Troy Seals. I know this because I was mixing it and I said to Don
Was, Did Keith write this song?
I didn't know 'cause I'm not on it. Don said, No, it's an old cover tune.
Waylon Jennings did a version, which is where I think Keith got it
from.
