You Can`t Keep A Good Memory Down Lyrics

You Can`t Keep A Good Memory Down lyrics

I sold the house we lived in

And moved a thousand miles to get away

But the feeling that I'm running from

Was waiting here when I unpacked today



She's on my mind and in my heart

I hear her voice, what a haunting sound

You can leave the past behind you

But you can't keep a good memory down



I wandered through these city streets

Oh, I feel so out of place

And in this crowd of strangers

Everywhere I turn I see her face



Oh, it's hard to know just what to do

Or where to go, where hurt don't hang around

You can leave the past behind you

But you can't keep a good memory down



You can start your life all over

Go somewhere where everything is new

But if there's a memory strong enough

It won't let go of you



Oh, she's on my mind and in my heart

I hear her voice, what a haunting sound

You can leave the past behind you

But you can't keep a good memory down

Oh, you may leave the past behind you

But you can't keep a good memory down
