That's The Thing About A Memory
|
(Tracy Byrd/Keith Stegall/Lewis Anderson)
|
|
Well I woke up this mornin'
|
And I was feelin' fine
|
But with my first cup of coffee
|
Came the last thing on my mind
|
It hung around uninvited
|
The whole day through
|
It didn't care that I'd been trying
|
To keep from missing you
|
|
That's the thing about a memory
|
It's got a mind of its own
|
It can take an old flame
|
And chill you to the bone
|
Just when you think it's long gone
|
It'll roll back around
|
But that's the thing about a memory
|
When it comes to misery
|
It'll never let you down
|
|
I already know that it's not welcome
|
It's just a fair weather friend
|
Who wants to be reminded
|
Of things that might've been
|
It don't matter if I'm drivin'
|
Or walkin' down the street
|
It's never far behind
|
It does it every time
|
It knocks me off my feet
|
|
That's the thing about a memory
|
It's got a mind of its own
|
It can take an old flame
|
And chill you to the bone
|
Just when you think it's long gone
|
It'll roll back around
|
That's the thing about a memory
|
When it comes to misery
|
It'll never let you down
|
|
Yeah that's the thing about a memory
|
When it comes to misery
|
It'll never let you down
