Man With A Memory Lyrics - Man With A Memory - Joe Nichols

Ol' Johnny's got a heart of gold 

Ask anyone around here 

But some nights his eyes are far away 

And filled with tears 

Sweet Mary Lou's just as good as they come 

With a weakness for all the wrong men 

From the look on her face tonight 

She's been wrong again 

Bartender's thinkin' to himself 

As he rubs his towel around a glass 

Thinkin' 'bout the man with a mem'ry 

And the woman with a past 

Lost souls on life's highway 

Forever lookin' back 

When you're livin' for the love 

And the love doesn't last 

You get a man with a mem'ry 

A woman with a past 

Bartender turns the TV down 

Cranks that ol' jukebox up 

Carefully selects which buttons to push 

For what each song does 

see-23 after J-19, it's a tonic for a broken heart 

A little Stardust in the mix 

It's a fine, fine art 

Dim the lights a notch or two 

The next round is on the house 

For the man with a mem'ry 

And the woman with a past 

Lost souls on life's highway 

Forever lookin' back 

When you're livin' for the love 

And the love doesn't last 

You get a man with a mem'ry 

A woman with a past 

Oh, we've all got somethin' we've got to get around 

Now and then you get the chance to help the lost get found 

Stackin' chairs and sweepin' up 

He can't help a little smile 

Now there's a man with a mem'ry 

There's a woman with a past 

Lost souls on life's highway 

Forever lookin' back 

When you're livin' for the love 

And the love doesn't last 

You get a man with a mem'ry 

A woman with a past
