Verse 1

They caught a bus outta’ Witchita to go chasin’ down his dreams
He’d lost his soul to a six string restin’ underneath his seat
She said goodbye to Daddy hugged her Mama then she cried
As they stepped into a Greyhound with their Mem’ries of The Night

Under the neon lights in Nashville his sun began to shine
He played that same old six string each and every night
She was missin’ Kansas and the way things used to be
One day she left a note it said, I didn’t want to leave

But it’s every day lonely in my every day life
Every night it’s the same dream a dream that never dies
Mornin’ comes as always like a bitter sweet good bye
And there’s no one to hold on to only my Mem’ries of The Night

Now the sun shines through his window and he’s blinded by the light
So he grabs the whiskey bottle that helped him through last night
He thinks about her letter even after all this time
As he strums a dusty six string he remembers every line

And it’s every day lonely in his every day life
Every night it’s the same dream a dream that never dies
Mornin’ comes as always like a bitter sweet goodbye
And there’s no one to hold on to only his Mem’ries of The Night

From a long time ago a mem’ry comes to mind
One I can’t let go of no matter how I try
She was like an Angel Heaven sent her for awhile
Then she spread her wings and left me these Mem’ries of The Night

Repeat Chorus 2

And there’s no one to hold on to only my Mem’ries of The Night
