Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 and 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] She drove a pick-up truck painted green and blue The tires were wearing thin, she done a mile or two 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 [Chorus] 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 (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 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 [Post-Chorus] She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah Mighty fine, 'cause she's one of a kind She got a mind of her own She's one of a kind and she use it well [Verse 3] On the seventh day my eyes were all a-glaze 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 [Chorus] 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 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 Mean so much to me [Outro] She's got a mind of her own and she use it well yeah Well she's one of a kind
