Strain Your Memory (From Exile)

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] May the highways cross their fingers and hope That we may one day find ourselves home She sticks her head outside the passenger window Sighs as traffic stops and goes "It's been two weeks now, living in this southern town We hoped the change would change our restless minds A little rewind to a simpler time" I swear it's temporary living in this cheap motel Somewhere in the bible belt [Verse 2] We made love at that Mariеtta Motel 6 You fell asleep on my shoulder of commitmеnt Took it as a sign everything would be fine Sometimes it takes these kind of nights just to realize How we want to spend the rest of our lives [Pre-Chorus] Could a diamond in the rough ever be enough? I've been mining for your love Since the day that we met, I've spent every second In your minefield digging it up [Chorus] Can you strain your memory back to the times When trouble wasn't always always on our minds? When trouble wasn't always on our minds Back to the times When trouble wasn't always on our minds [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] And now the hotel maids were bangin' down the door As if they came looking for some answers "When ya gonna leave? Where ya gonna go? Will you get your shit together? When ya gonna marry her?' Well maybe you don't deserve her Maybe the whole thing was doomed from the start This inquisition's tearing me apart [Pre-Chorus] Could a diamond in the rough ever be enough? I've been mining for your love Since the day that we met, I've spent every second In your minefield digging it up [Chorus] Can you strain your memory back to the times When trouble wasn't always on our minds? Can you strain your memory one more time? When trouble wasn't always always on our minds
