Met you in a smoky bar
Playin' out of tune guitar
You were singin' right along
You were dressed up to the nines
Outta luck, and so was I
So I played your favourite song
When you said that the words weren't right
Said I change 'em every night
Was kinda there, I just messed up the ending
The girl, the bottle, the memory
Time came to settle down
Buy a house in a little town
Start workin' nine to five
Early nights and early rise
A simple dream and a simple life
But I wouldn't be tied down
'Cause I had many roads to ride
You couldn't stop me if you tried
And I could tell, you'd started to regret me
The girl, the bottle, the memory
We've all got dreams to chase, and lies to face
Baby, you've got yours and I've got mine
Maybe in a different space or time or place
You might've changed your mind
Changed your mind
I heard you're changin' your last name
Kinda brought it back again
And there's a lot that went unsaid
You got a house in your hometown
You got a man who sticks around
A baby waitin' to be fed
I'm singin' in a smoky bar
Playin' out of tune guitar
And every night, it comes right back to get me
The girl, the bottle
Another town, another song
Broken hearts and love gone wrong
I know we're done, but girl, please don't forget me
The girl, the bottle, the memory
Whoa, the girl, the bottle, the memory
Whoa, the memory
Ooh, yeah
