The Best of Me

I found a box of memories

Read a letter, dropped a tear where you signed your name

And turnin' the page smearing the ink and the love always

Girl, I always start this way

Then I end up in a bottle screaming out your name

And punching the walls, carrying on like I've gone insane

In the mirror, I can see the man that just shook his head with no remorse

Watched an angel crying tears packing all her things as she walked out the door

'Cause there ain't nothing like a memory

When it's coming on strong like a hurricane

How can love like that just up and walk away

It's killing me baby

It's got me pouring up another drink

Bourbons hittin' me hard like a freight train

With my back against a wall or on my knees

When the worst of your memory gets the best of me

I remember it all too well

Riding 441 down to Milledgeville

Crossing the as the sun set on lake St. Claire

I couldn't wait to see your smile, but all I saw was tears in your pretty eyes

That said it all, it was all down hill from there

And I remember you saying baby, please don't give up on me

All but baby this stubborn man is gonna line the bed he made

'Cause there ain't nothing like a memory

When it's coming on strong like a hurricane

How can love like that just up and walk away

It's killing me baby

It's got me pouring up another drink

Bourbons hittin' me hard like a freight train

With my back against a wall or on my knees

When the worst of your memory gets the best of me

'Cause there ain't nothing like a memory

When it's coming on strong like a hurricane

How can love like that just up and walk away

It's killing me baby

It's got me pouring up another drink

Bourbons hittin' me hard like a freight train

With my back against a wall or on my knees

When the worst of your memory gets the best of me
