I guess everything reminds you of something

The smell before the rain always makes me so nostalgic,
 for summers back in Texas.
 I wonder how my dog that ran away is doing now.
 I hope he thinks about me each time he chews a shoelace.
 Every time I see a John Wayne movie I'm thankful for my dad,
 and how he raised me.
 I honestly believe that I'm the same as I was when I was 14.
 I still worry about things that really don't matter.
 I found the meaning of life in a fortune cookie,
 it said stop asking how and why to live life and just do it.
 I guess Nike was right, but I've never been one to take advice.
 I guess everything reminds you of something.
