Man With A Memory

(album: Man With A Memory - 2002)

Ol' Johnny's got a heart of gold
Ask anyone around here
But some night his eyes are far away
And filled with tears
Sweet Mary Lou's just as good as they come
Witha weakness for all the wrong men
From the look on her face tonight
She's been wrong again
Bartender's thinking to himself
As he rubs his towel around a glass

Thinking 'bout the man with a mem'ry
And the woman with a past
Lost souls on life's highway
Forever looking back
When you're living for the love
And the love doesn't last
You get a man with a mem'ry
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, it's a tonic for a broken heart
A little stardust in the mix
It's a fine, fine art
Dimi the lights a notch or two
The next round is on the house

For the man with a mem'ry
And the woman with a past
Lost souls on life's highway
Forever looking back
When you're living for the love
And the love doesn't last
You get a man with a mem'ry
A woman with a past

Oh, we've all got something we've got to get around
Now and then you get the chance to help the lost get found

Stacking chairs and sweeping up
He can't help a little smile

Now there's a man with a mem'ry
There's a woman with a past
Lost souls on life's highway
Forever looking back
When you're living for the love
And the love doesn't last
You get a man with a mem'ry
A woman with a past
