Memory Motel

(アルバム： Black And Blue - 1976)

Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl
Her eyes were hazel
And her nose was slightly curved
We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel
It's on the ocean, I guess you know it well

It took a starry night to steal my breath away
Down on the waterfront
Her hair all drenched in spray

Hannah baby was a honey of a girl
Her eyes were hazel
And her teeth were slightly curved
She took my guitar and she began to play
She sang a song to me
Stuck right in my brain

You're just a memory of a love
That used to be
You're just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me

She got a mind of her own
And she use it well, yeah
Well she's one of a kind
Got a mind

She got a mind of her own, yeah
And she use it mighty fine

She drove a pick-up truck
Painted green and blue
The tires were wearing thin
She done a mile or two
When I asked her where she headed for
"Back up to Boston I'm singing in a bar"

I got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge
My nerves are shot already
The road ain't all that smooth
Across in Texas is the rose of San Antone
I keep on a feeling that gnawing in my bones

You're just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory girl
You're just a sweet memory
And it used to mean so much to me

Sha la la la la

You're just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me

She got a mind of her own
And she use it well, yeah
Mighty fine
'Cause she's one of a kind

She got a mind of her own
She's one of a kind
And she use it well

On the seventh day my eyes were all a glaze
We've been ten thousand miles
Been in fifteen states
Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind
I hit the bottle I hit the sack and cried

What's all this laughter on the 22nd floor
It's just some friends of mine
And they're busting down the door

Been a lonely night at the Memory Motel

You're just a memory girl, just a memory
And it used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory girl, you're just a memory
And it used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory girl, you're just a sweet old memory
And it used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory of a love that used to mean so much to me

She's got a mind of her own and she use it well yeah
Well she's one of a kind
