Ol johnnys got a heart of gold
Ask anyone around here
But some nights his eyes are far away
And filled with tears
Sweet mary lous just as good as they come
With a weakness for all the wrong men
From the look on her face tonight
Shes been wrong again
Bartenders thinkin to himself
As he rubs his towel around a glass
Thinkin bout the man with a memry
And the woman with a past
Lost souls on lifes highway
Forever lookin back
When youre livin for the love
And the love doesnt last
You get a man with a memry
A woman with a past
Bartender turns the tv down
Cranks that ol jukebox up
Carefully selects which buttons to push
For what each song does
C-23 after j-19, its a tonic for a broken heart
A little stardust in the mix
Its a fine, fine art
Dim the lights a notch or two
The next round is on the house
For the man with a memry
And the woman with a past
Lost souls on lifes highway
Forever lookin back
When youre livin for the love
And the love doesnt last
You get a man with a memry
A woman with a past
Oh, weve all got somethin weve got to get around
Now and then you get the chance to help the lost get found
Stackin chairs and sweepin up
He cant help a little smile
Now theres a man with a memry
Theres a woman with a past
Lost souls on lifes highway
Forever lookin back
When youre livin for the love
And the love doesnt last
You get a man with a memry
A woman with a past
