Memory Motel

Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl

Her eyes were hazel and her nose was slightly curved

We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel

It's on the ocean I guess you know it well

It took a starry night to steal my breath away

Down on the waterfront her hair all drenched

In spray

Hannah baby was a honey of a girl

Her eyes were hazel her teeth were slightly curved

She took my guitar and she began to play

She sang a song to me, stuck right in my brain

You're just a memory of a love that used to be

You're just a memory of a love that used to mean so

Much to me

She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah

Well she's one of a kind

Got a mind

She got a mind of her own, yeah, and she use it mighty fine

She drove a pick-up truck painted green and blue

The tires were wearing thin she done a mile or two

And when I asked her where she headed for

(Back up to Boston I'm singing in a bar)

I got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge

My nerves are shot already the road ain't all that smooth

Across in Texas is the rose of San Antone

I keep on a feeling that gnawing in my bones






You're just a memory (just a memory) of a love that used to mean so

Much to me

(just a memory)

You're just a memory of a love that used to mean so

Much to me

You're just a memory girl, you're just a sweet

Old memory

And it used to mean so much to me






Sha la laa la

Sha la laa la

Sha la laa la

Sha la laa la

You're just a memory of a love that used to mean so much to me






She got a mind of her own and she use it well

Mighty fine she's one of a kind

She got a mind of her own

She's one of a kind and she use it well

On the seventh day my eyes were all aglaze

We been ten thousand miles and been in fifteen states

Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind

I hit the bottle and I hit the sack and cried

What's all this laughter on the twenty-second floor?

It's just some friends of mine and they're busting

Down the doors






It's been a lonely night at the Memory Motel






You're just a memory girl, just a memory

And it used to mean so much to me

You're just a memory girl, you're just a memory

And it used to mean so much to me

You're just a memory girl, you're just a sweet old memory

And it used to mean so much to me

You're just a memory of a love that used to mean so

Much to me






She's got a mind of her own and she use it well yeah

Well she's one of a kind
