We were listening to the radio
After dark, in the park by hurricane shoals
on A blanket by the waterfalls,
Holdin hands, sweet romancing untill the rooster called
Then I drove her home thinkin ain't love grand,
Oh I'd never felt that way before, and I never have again.. 

Now I'm in love with a memory,
Sweet history's got a hold of me,
So dont' go fallin for me now...
We could never be,
Cause I'm in love with a memory 

We were lying on the midland train,
down 29, just barley hiding from the four lane
Close my eyes and I can see her still,
Perfect body streched out for me, every tan line revealed
She headed of to college that September,
And she left me with a kiss, that I always will remember... 

Now I'm in love with a memory,
Sweet history's got a hold of me,
So don't go fallin for me now,
We could never be,
Cause I'm in love with a memory 

Oh Many girls have come and gone,
Half the Women in this county swear my heart is made of stone,
That one old flame still burns away,
Yeah the love I lost ten years ago, Is the one I'm longing for today 

And I'm in love with, oh I'm in love with a memory
Sweet history's got a hold of me,
So don't go fallin for me now,
We could never be,
Cause I'm in love with a memory 

We could never be,
Cause I'm in love with a memory
Oh I'm in love with a memory
