Memories,
how come it's never hurt this deep?
I do not want a memory,
jakin' up my time
Memories, will someone
come and help me please?
I do not want a memory
Shakin' up my mind
Oh, she said, You're the boy ain't
you gonna meet me at the rodeo
I put flowers near my hair
And I wear it down my back for you
So I swam far in Russian rivers
I fought an army of gods
Yeah, I kept them flowers aloft
Until the bitter rain come through
And it's kind of sad but glad
that we both knew
Memories
And every day they're more like cheese
See, I do not want a memory
Jankin' up my mind, but
Wasn't such a long ways back,
I know
This means I got a long,
long way to go from here
Memories, someone come
and help me please
See, I do not need a memory
Shakin' up my mind
Oh, we had forty -eight children
They all grew up to be her
oes amongst men
She'd earn a thousand dollars then
She'd dance with me the
whole day through
And she told those Romeo's boys
It's alright, I got my own sure love
Yeah, she kept spinnin' her above
until the bitter rain comes
When it came down, everyone knew
Memories, nostalgia is the worst disease
And it's slowly takin' over me
and wastin' all my time
Wasn't such a long ways back, I know
This means I got a long,
long way to go from here
Memories, will someone come
and swap with me?
See, I do not want a memory,
I only want my life
How come they never taste like wine?
But I gotta drink them all the time
Memories, memories, baby
