Lyrics for Memory Motel

Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl Her eyes were hazel And her nose were 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 water front 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 sing 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 She's 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 turned 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's gnawing in my bones You're just a memory (just a memory) Of a love that used to mean so much to me You're just a memory You're just a memory (just a memory) All the love that used to mean so much to me You just a memory girl You're just sweet of memory That used to mean so much to me Sha la la la... You're just a memory All the live that used to mean so much to me •She got a mind of her own And she use it well yeah Mighty fine, she's one of a kind She got a mind of her own One of a kind and she use it well On the seventh day my eyes were all a glaze We've been ten thousand miles Been in fifteen states Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind I hit the bottle and hit the sack and cried What's all this laughter on the 22nd floor It's just some friends of mine And they're busting down the door Been a lonely night at the Memory Motel You're just a memory girl Just a memory And 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 just a memory And used to mean so much to me You're just a memory All the love that used to mean so much to me •She got a mind of her own And she use it well yeah Mighty fine, she's one of a kind
