MEMORY MOTEL

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 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 And 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 (just a memory) of a love that used to mean so Much to me (just a memory) 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 Old memory And it used to mean so much to me Sha la laa la Sha la laa la Sha la laa la Sha la laa 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 Mighty fine 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 aglaze We been ten thousand miles and been in fifteen states Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind I hit the bottle and I hit the sack and cried What's all this laughter on the twenty-second floor? It's just some friends of mine and they're busting Down the doors It's 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
