Album: "For the Soul and For the Mind Demo's '71-'74"
12/24/05
Here I sit Dbehind the botD7tle, like I've done so many Gtimes
A7A-drinkin' to my new love, with my old love on my mDind
That just Dain't no way to D7shake it, no one else can take her Gplace
And the A7bottle holds the memory that a new love can't repDlace
The Dbottle holds the memorD7y of the times we used to Gshare
A7She would not take me back again if I cried a million tDears
So I Dsmile and run my finD7gers gently on my new love's Gface
While I A7hold the bottled memory that time could not eDrase
She don't Drealize I'm lonD7ely, she thinks everything is Gfine
Tell A7another joke bartender, Lord I'm about to lose my mDind
I'm just Dgoin' thru the motiD7ons, Lord I'll never win this Grace
While I A7hold the bottled memory that time could not eDrase
Here I Dsit behind this boD7ttle like I've done so many Gtimes
A7Drinkin' to my new love with my old love on my Dmind
That just aDin't no way to sD7hake it, no one else can take her Gplace
Old Jerry A7Lee holds the memory that time cannot eDrase
                                                              A7      DA7-D
Jerry Lee the Killer's got your memory baby, and time will not erase
