A Good Memory

You're a flower drawn in sidewalk chalk

Beautiful but she won't stick around for long

You'll be gone from here in a matter of hours

After the first summer rain washes all of you away

And every single trace of your late night, drunk phone call

Tellin' me you love me after all

I still taste the red wine on your lips on the side of the phone

But somehow we lose connection and then you're gone

If I'd a held on a little longer

Loved you a little stronger

Would you still be ridin' shotgun next to me

Showed up uninvited to be right by your side now, darlin'

Would we be more than a good memory

You're a southern livin' magazine

So elegant and pristine

Well, you smell like a rich woman's cologne

Soon someone's bound to pick you up and take you home

If I'd a held on a little longer

Loved you a little stronger

Would you still be ridin' shotgun next to me

Showed up uninvited to be right by your side now, darlin'

Would we be more than a good memory

If I'd a held on a little longer

Loved you a little stronger

Would you still be ridin' shotgun next to me

Showed up uninvited to your hill countryside apartment

Would we be more than a good memory

A good memory
