Yesterday arrived too quickly, caught me
| | |
My defence moved in too slowly, missed it by a yard
| | |
I'd just settled down
| | |
So I moved on to whiskey and it hit me again
| | |
Memories were raining punches down on my head
| | |
Knocked me into the past so quickly,
| | |
So I drank some more booze and it helped me to sleep
| | |
Where I dreamed of my youth
| | |
History is a friend of mine, she comes over to my place
| | |
| And we have a good time | | |
But the memories she sometimes brings with her
| | |
Get out of line, they're out of line
| | |
Show me things I don't want to see Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be Take me places I used to go A long long long time ago
| | |
| When I woke | | |
| Suppose that's just as well | | |
And although my head was aching
| | |
So I put on some clothes and I reached my front door
| | |
When I pulled it wide open
| | |
Oh history is a friend of mine She comes over to my place and we have a good time But the memories she sometimes brings with her Get out of line, they're out of line
| | |
Show me things I don't want to see Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be Take me places I used to go A long long long time ago A long long long time ago
