I found a box of memories,
read a letter,
dropped a tear where you signed your name,
and turning the page,
smearing the ink in the “Love Always.”

Girl, I always start this way and
then I end up in a bottle screaming out your name,
punching the walls, carrying on like I’ve gone insane,

And in the mirror,
I can see the man who just shook his head with no remorse,
watched an angel crying tears,
packing all of her things as she walked out the door.

And there ain’t nothing like a memory,
when it’s coming on strong like a hurricane.
How can love like that just up and walk away?
It’s killing me baby.
It’s got me pouring up another drink,
bourbon’s hitting me hard like a freight train,
with my back against the wall or on my knees,
when the worst of your memory gets the best of me.

Well, I remember it all too well, riding 441 down to Milledgeville,
crossing the bridge as the sun set on Lake Sinclair.

I couldn’t wait to see your smile,
but all I saw were tears in your pretty eyes and that said it all,
it was all downhill from there.
And I remember you saying, “Baby, please don’t give up on me.”
Oh but baby, this stubborn man is gonna lie in the bed he made.

‘Cause there ain’t nothing like a memory,
when it’s coming on strong like a hurricane.
How can love like that just up and walk away?
It’s killing me baby.
It’s got me pouring up another drink,
bourbon’s hitting me hard like a freight train,
with my back against the wall or on my knees,
when the worst of your memory gets the best, the best of me.

Baby, there ain’t nothing like a memory,
when it’s coming on strong like a hurricane.
How can love like that just up and walk away?
It’s killing me baby.
It’s got me pouring up another drink,
bourbon’s hitting me hard like a freight train,
with my back against the wall or on my knees,
when the words to your memory gets the best, the best of me.
