You Can't Keep A Good Memory Down Lyrics - John Anderson

I sold the house we lived in 

And moved a thousand miles to get away 

But the feeling that I'm running from 

Was waiting here when I unpacked today 

She's on my mind and in my heart 

I hear her voice, what a haunting sound 

You can leave the past behind you 

But you can't keep a good memory down 

I wandered through these city streets 

Oh, I feel so out of place 

And in this crowd of strangers 

Everywhere I turn I see her face 

Oh, it's hard to know just what to do 

Or where to go, where hurt don't hang around 

You can leave the past behind you 

But you can't keep a good memory down 

You can start your life all over 

Go somewhere where everything is new 

But if there's a memory strong enough 

It won't let go of you 

Oh, she's on my mind and in my heart 

I hear her voice, what a haunting sound 

You can leave the past behind you 

But you can't keep a good memory down 

Oh, you may leave the past behind you 

But you can't keep a good memory down
