Here I am alone

Strumming this guitar

At home on a Friday night

When I oughta be at the bar

I told all my friends

I needed time to think

But the truth of it is

Think I'll just stay here and drink

Cause you're a memory I can't stop

A heartache on the jukebox

A hurting feeling when that needle

Drops down on the groove

You're the lead even in the story

You were good but no good for me

Mama tried to warn me you'd break my heart in two

Merle Haggard woulda wrote songs about you

If the whiskey in this bottle

Don't let me down

Might not get over you

But I'll gain a little ground

Somehow it feels like

The highs were worth the lows

I know I might sound crazy

Guess that's the way love goes

You're a memory I can't stop

A heartache on the jukebox

A hurting feeling when that needle

Drops down on the groove

You're the lead even in the story

You were good but no good for me

Mama tried to warn me you'd break my heart in two

Merle Haggard woulda wrote songs about you

Yeah, a good one, a sad one, wish I had you back one

When he sang those heartbroke songs sure sounds like he had one

You're a memory I can't stop

A heartache on the jukebox

A hurting feeling when that needle

Drops down on the groove

You're the lead even in the story

You were good but no good for me

Mama tried to warn me you'd break my heart in two

Merle Haggard woulda wrote songs about you
