Joe Nichols - Man With A Memory lyrics

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 gla** 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 bu*tons to push For what each song does C-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
