Slow Dancing 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 dance floor and picked his spot Then he closed his eyes and he 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 till 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 home 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 way life is and the way love goes Someday that just might be you or me Slow dancing with a memory Slow dancing with a memory
