A Good Memory

(album: Humble Folks - 2018)

You're a flower drawn in sidewalk chalk
Beautiful but she won't stick around for long
You'll be gone from here in a matter of hours
After the first summer rain washes all of you away
And every single trace of your late night, drunk phone call
Telling me you love me after all
I still taste the red wine on your lips on the side of the phone
But somehow we lose connection and then you're gone

If I'd a held on a little longer
Loved you a little stronger
Would you still be riding shotgun next to me
Showed up uninvited to be right by your side now, darling
Would we be more than a good memory

You're a southern living magazine
So elegant and pristine
Well, you smell like a rich woman's cologne
Soon someone's bound to pick you up and take you home

If I'd a held on a little longer
Loved you a little stronger
Would you still be riding shotgun next to me
Showed up uninvited to be right by your side now, darling
Would we be more than a good memory
If I'd a held on a little longer
Loved you a little stronger
Would you still be riding shotgun next to me
Showed up uninvited to your hill countryside apartment
Would we be more than a good memory
A good memory
