That's The Thing About A Memory

Tracy Byrd

(Tracy Byrd/Keith Stegall/Lewis Anderson) 

Well I woke up this mornin' 
And I was feelin' fine 
But with my first cup of coffee 
Came the last thing on my mind 
It hung around uninvited 
The whole day through 
It didn't care that I'd been trying 
To keep from missing you 

That's the thing about a memory 
It's got a mind of its own 
It can take an old flame 
And chill you to the bone 
Just when you think it's long gone 
It'll roll back around 
But that's the thing about a memory 
When it comes to misery 
It'll never let you down 

I already know that it's not welcome 
It's just a fair weather friend 
Who wants to be reminded 
Of things that might've been 
It don't matter if I'm drivin' 
Or walkin' down the street 
It's never far behind 
It does it every time 
It knocks me off my feet 

That's the thing about a memory 
It's got a mind of its own 
It can take an old flame 
And chill you to the bone 
Just when you think it's long gone 
It'll roll back around 
That's the thing about a memory 
When it comes to misery 
It'll never let you down 

Yeah that's the thing about a memory 
When it comes to misery 
It'll never let you down
