IN LOVE WITH A MEMORY

We were listening to the radio
After dark, in the park by Hurricane Shoals
On a blanket by the waterfall
Holding hands, sweet romancin’ until the rooster called
Then I drove her home thinkin’ ain't love grand
Oh, I'd never felt that way before, and I never have again
CHORUS Now, I'm in love with a memory
Sweet history's got a hold of me
So don't go fallin’ for me now
We could never be
‘Cause I'm in love with a memory
We were lying on the Midland train
By 129, just barely hiding from the four lane
Close my eyes and I can see her still
Perfect body stretched out for me, every tan line revealed
She headed of to college that September
But she left me with a kiss, that I always will remember
CHORUS
Oh, many girls have come and gone
Half the women in this county swear my heart is made of stone
That one old flame still burns away
Yeah, the love I lost ten years ago is the one I’m longin’ for today
CHORUS
CHORUS
We could never be
‘Cause I'm in love with a memory
Oh, I'm in love with a memory
