I'm in love with the thought of you when you were twenty-two
My pair of boots and your Converse shoes kicked off by the front door
Sippin' cheap tequila on the front porch
I'm in love with the history of you and me how it used to be
The king and queen of this small town young and wild
Somethin' from the '90s on the dashboard dial
But oh a memory ain't enough
'Cause I can look but I can't touch
A memory can't get you outside of your mama's house
Midnight rain on a Chevy hood
A memory can't hold you in a Sarasota sunrise
Even though you wish it would
All it's gonna do is make you lose sleep at night
Wake up and leave you in the past
You can love a memory but a memory
Can't love you back
Just when I think found someone knew it comes out the blue
It kills my vice and it kills the mood
Those two years they're long gone
And I should be movin' on
But oh a memory'll make it hard
It's time to be realize you don't deserve my heart
Heart oh
A memory can't get you outside of your mama's house
Midnight rain on a Chevy hood
A memory can't hold you in a Sarasota sunrise
Even though you wish it would
All it's gonna do is make you lose sleep at night
Wake up and leave you in the past
You can love a memory but a memory
Can't love you back
Woah
Oh no
Oh
A memory can't tell you how you'll make her feel
In the moonlight glow of a shotgun seat
A memory can't pick out a diamond ring
And say "I do" under an old oak tree
All it's gonna do is make you lose sleep at night
Wake up and leave you in the past
You can love a memory but a memory
Can't love you back
Woah
Can't love you back
Oh
You can love a memory but a memory
Can't love you back
