I found a box of memories, read a letter
Dropped a tear where you signed your name
And turning the page, smearing the ink into "Love Always"
Girl, I always start this way
And then I end up in a bottle screaming out your name
And punching the walls, carrying on like I've gone insane
And in the mirror
I can see the man who just shook his head with no remorse
Watching an angel crying tears
Stepping over my beers as you walked out the door
And there ain't nothing like a memory
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away?
Killing me, baby
It's got me pouring up another drink
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against the wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me
Oh, I remember it all too well, riding 441 down to Milledgeville
Crossing the bridge as the sun set on Lake Sinclair
I couldn't wait to see you smile
But all I saw were tears in your pretty eyes and that said it all
It was all downhill from there
And I remember you saying, "Baby, please don't give up on me"
Oh, but baby, this stubborn man is gonna lie in the bed he made
'Cause there ain't nothing like a memory
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away?
It's killing me, baby
It's got me pouring up another drink
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against the wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best
The best of me
Baby, there ain't nothing like a memory
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away?
You're killing me, baby
Got me pouring up another drink
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against the wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best
The best of me
