Phil Smith - Memories
Did you ever find them pills You were chasing that night
When Johnny hit the wall
I walked out the front door, and never looked back
What happened to us
Oh I crossed the border, headed south for a while
And ended up getting work with my hands
Spent my days shifting steel, in a company yard
That was ownedrun by a company manand my nights trying hard to forget
Your dreams turn to dust, so fast, lives just rust Like an old car left out in the field
And down off the road in the tall grass like snakes memories lie in wait
And they're waiting for me
The road out always seemed to be easier then, and lovers came and went
But nine years passed quickly, and I ended up here
With nothing but a head full of song and a fear
Your dreams turn to dust, so fast, lives just rust Like an old car left out in the field
And down off the road in the tall grass like snakes memories lie in wait
And they're waiting for me
And I heard 'bout poor Johnny, from a waitress one night
She recognized my face in a bar she was working in a bar I was at
It seems I lost a brother, on the needle he died
And sometimes it stops wakes me in the dead of the night
When Johnny hit the wall
I walked out the front door, and never looked back
What happened to us
Oh I crossed the border, headed south for a while
And ended up getting work with my hands
Spent my days shifting steel, in a company yard
That was ownedrun by a company manand my nights trying hard to forget
Your dreams turn to dust, so fast, lives just rust Like an old car left out in the field
And down off the road in the tall grass like snakes memories lie in wait
And they're waiting for me
The road out always seemed to be easier then, and lovers came and went
But nine years passed quickly, and I ended up here
With nothing but a head full of song and a fear
Your dreams turn to dust, so fast, lives just rust Like an old car left out in the field
