Slow Dancin' with a Memory
|
(Darryl Worley/ Wynn Varble/Don Poythress)
|
|
He walked into Dusty's Place last night
|
I said somethin' about that boy ain't right
|
He drank a half a dozen double shots
|
Walked to the dance floor and picked his spot
|
|
Then he closed his eyes and he dropped his head
|
Folded his arms across his chest
|
Slowly started swaying side to side
|
That's when I walked up and said are you okay
|
He had big ol' tears running down his face
|
He said, not right now buddy can't you see
|
I'm slow dancin' with a memory
|
|
I just waited 'til the song was through
|
I asked if there was something I could do
|
He said, not unless you can bring her home
|
Then "He Stopped Loving Her Today" came on
|
|
Then he closed his eyes and he dropped his head
|
Folded his arms across his chest
|
Slowly started swaying side to side
|
I walked back to the bar and ol' Dusty said
|
We oughta throw that fool out on his head
|
I said, why don't you let that poor man be
|
He's slow dancin' with a memory
|
|
I hate to see somebody down that low
|
But that's the way life is and the way love goes
|
Someday that just might be you or me
