Memory Motel

[Verse 1]

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 and 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

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

She drove a pick-up truck painted green and blue

The tires were wearing thin, she done a mile or two

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

[Chorus]

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 (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 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

[Post-Chorus]

She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah

Mighty fine, 'cause she's one of a kind

She got a mind of her own

She's one of a kind and she use it well

[Verse 3]

On the seventh day my eyes were all a-glaze

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

[Chorus]

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 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

Mean so much to me

[Outro]

She's got a mind of her own and she use it well yeah

Well she's one of a kind
