I′m in love with the thought of you

When you were 22

My pair of boots and your converse shoesKicked off by the front door

Sippin' cheap tequila on the front porch

I′m in love with the history of you and me

How we used to be

The king and queen of this small town

Young and wild

Something from the 90s on the dashboard dial

But oh, the memory ain't enough

'Cause I can look but I can′t touch

A memory can′t kiss you outside of your momma's house

Midnight rain on a Chevy hood

A memory can′t hold you in a Sarasota sunrise

Even though you wish it would

All it's gonna do is make you lose sleep at night

Wake up and leave you in the past

You can love a memory

But a memory can′t love you back

Just when I think I've found someone new

It′s come out the blue

It kills my buzz and it kills the mood

Those two years are long gone

And I should be moving on

But oh, a memory will make it hard

It's time to realize

It don't deserve my heart

A memory can′t kiss you outside of your momma′s house

Midnight rain on a Chevy hood

A memory can't hold you in a Sarasota sunrise

Even though you wish it would

All it′s gonna do is make you lose sleep at night

Wake up and leave you in the past

You can love a memory

But a memory can't love you back

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

A memory can′t tell you how you make it feel

In the moonlight glow of a shotgun seat

A memory can't pick out a diamond ring

And say I do under an old oak tree

All it′s gonna do is make you lose sleep at night

Wake up and leave you in the past

You can love a memory

But a memory can't love you back

Oh

Can't love you back (oh)

You can love a memory

But a memory can′t love you back
