You Don't Know You're a Memory Lyrics

The cure for sober is drinking

I'm sure that it was you who said

I was laid out on the bar floor thinking

I'd look better tonight if I was dead

But you don't know much when you're sinking

It's all gone to feelin' instead

And both of my ears are still ringing

From that ring finger knock on my head

My ex and your ex

They're like two car wrecks

They teamed on up and they totaled me

And I was so wasted that I could not see

What you had in mind when you said, meant to be, it's meant to be

But you don't know you're a memory, 'til you're already filed away

Stored in that drawer called the time before

And tossed out one of these days

Yeah, you don't know you're a memory, and you sure don't know what for

You don't know you're a memory, and I won't remember you no more

The answer to pain is drinking

It's all right there in the book

I was stood up in a line dance blinking

How'd I end up in those pictures you took

But I don't know much when I'm sinking

So what I think I'll do, honey, I'll keep on drinking

Your ex and my ex

They'll stop by and pay their respects

They come down hard and they give it to me

And I was so wasted that I could not see

What you had in mind when you said, meant to be, it's meant to be
