Tracy Byrd Lyrics
"That's the Thing About a Memory"

(Keith Stegall - Lewis Anderson - Tracy Byrd)

Well, I woke up this morning and I was feeling 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 mem'ry 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 mem'ry
When it comes to mis'ry it'll never let you down.

--- Instrumental ---

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 driving or walking 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 mem'ry 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 mem'ry
When it comes to mis'ry it'll never let you down.

Yeah, that's the thing about a mem'ry
When it comes to mis'ry it'll never let you down...
