That`s The Thing About A Memory — текст песни (Tracy Byrd)

(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
