That's The Thing About A Memory Lyrics - Byrd Tracy

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
