run from your memory

you should've kept the diamond ring

i gave it to you for free

now i don't need no souvenirs after what you've done to me

it's just a little old shiny stone

but it sure does slow me down

so i'm gonna throw it off the nearest bridge and then i'll leave this town

there's nothing left of this love affair

that i really need

i guess i'll throw out everything except your memory

'cause i can drive this beat-up truck from here to timbuktu

lay down flat on a bed of nails and i'd still dream of you

'cause i can run from your memory but i can't hide

can't drown it down by the river side

the further i go

the harder we collide

i can run from your memory but i can't hide

well i have hallucinations

they hit me from the blue

where you've still got your diamond ring

and i've still got you

i might as well just give it up

'cause the damage has been done

you'd drive me crazy anyway

if i stay or if i run

'cause i can run from your memory but i can't hide

can't drown it down by the river side

the further i go

the harder we collide

i can run from your memory but i can't hide

i can run from your memory but i can't hide
