Memories

Sitting here alone in this old honky-tonk

Sipping on rye trying to clear my mind again

No matter how hard I try I can't shake this feeling blue

Cause everywhere I look I'm haunted by memories of you

Hot summer days we'd spent out on the open road

Chasing dreams and singing songs with nowhere else to go

And now you're gone you left me feeling cold and alone

Wishing I could hear your voice dreaming you'd come back home

Memories of you they're like a ghost that won't let me be

I miss the way you laughed the way you danced with me

Now I’m a lonely cowboy riding through the midnight dew

On my steel horse I hold these memories of you

I know time will heal this wound that's what they all say

But right now it feels like these memories are here to stay

I'll keep holding on to the hope that someday you'll return

But until then I'll go on missing you my old friend

Memories of you they're like a chain around my heart

I miss the way you smiled the way you played your part

Now I'm just a wanderer with nothing left to do

But drown in this endless river of

Memories of you they're like a storm that just won't end

I miss the way you held me the way you were back then

Now I'm a fisherman casting out my blues

Lost on an endless sea with memories of you

So here's to you my old friend

Know that I'll always cherish the memories
