Memory Comin Round

Shootin pool in a gold rush town
Hours go by and the rain falls down
Old wood sidewalks bringin the sound
Of a memory, comin round

She’s a ghost, she’s a queen,
An old friend midsummer night’s dream
Just like a face from an old movie scene
She’s a memory comin round

How you been, what’s your name
Things round here they just never change
Old time losers, playin the game
A memory comin round

Pull up a stool, finish your beer
Lets get the hell out of here
Walk in the rain, lend an ear
To a memory, commin round

Crossed the bridge of truth that night
Danced in the rain make-believin its right
Holdin each other just to keep out the fright
Of a memory comin round

The next day I left that town,
She said don’t be sad, you’ll see you around
In some other face, in some other town
I’ll be a memory comin round

It’s the code of the highway, the way I was raised
There’ll be other towns, there’ll be other days
There’ll be another woman to cut through the haze

She’s a ghost, she’s a queen,
An old friend midsummer night’s dream
Just like a face from an old movie scene
She’s a memory comin round
