steal a memory

steal a memory

i fell in love with a felon's daughter

a girl on a balcony

a young runaway from pittsfield

georgia

babe

leave that railing be

your wings are frayed

and it's a long way down

come breakin' dawn we'll leave

on the next bus out of town

just you and me

steal a memory

your brown hair in the wind

the seat of our mercury

under the willow tree

i won't be coming home this time

home is too far down the road

love will leave you by the highway side

but everybody knows it's worth the ride

steal a memory

me and my sweetheart walk past the tannery

down to the railroad crossing

don't be ashamed to cry

let it downpour it's alright

i been afraid to die

now i see i never lived before tonight
