Slow Dancin' with a Memory

He walked into Dusty's Place last night

I said something about that boy ain't right

He drank a half a dozen double shots

Walked to the dancefloor and picked his spot

[CHORUS]

Then he closed his eyes and dropped his head

Folded his arms across his chest

Slowly started swaying side to side

That's when I walked up and said are you okay

He had big old tears running down his face

He said not right now buddy can't you see

I'm slow dancing with a memory

I just waited until the song was through

I asked if there was something I could do

He said not unless you can bring her home

Then 'he stopped loving her today' came on

[CHORUS]

Then he closed his eyes and dropped his head

Folded his arms across his chest

Slowly started swaying side to side

I walked back to the bar and old dusty said

We oughta throw that fool out on his head

I said why don't you let that poor man be

He's slow dancing with a memory

I hate to see somebody down that low

But that's the wau life is and the way love goes

Someday that just mights be you or me

Slow dancing with a memory

Slow dancing with a memory
