Your Memory Drinks For Free

Your Memory Drinks For Free Co-written by: Dennis Gilkey & Prescott Harter    (Verse 1) I swore I’d leave this town, See your ghost in the rearview, But a jukebox hits that chord, And I’m right back next to you.   (Verse 2) Every shadow on the wall, Holds your silhouette in view, Every burn I swallow down, Tastes like the nights I lost with you.    (Chorus) I’m payin’ for the whiskey, Payin’ for the pain, Bartender keeps pourin’ but it all tastes the same, Every glass I’m buyin’, Brings you back to me, I guess in this old barroom, Your memory drinks for free.    (Verse 3) That neon hum’s still buzzin’, But your smile steals the show, I’m stuck between the then and now, In a place I can’t let go.    (Verse 4) I reach for one last lifeline, But it’s just your photograph, In this worn-out corner, You’re the one I can’t move past.    (Chorus) I’m payin’ for the whiskey, I'm payin’ for the pain, Bartender keeps pourin’ but it all tastes the same, Every glass I’m buyin’, Just brings you back to me, I guess in this old barroom, Your memory drinks for free.    (Bridge) Now Im drowning in the quiet, Where your laughter used to stay, And every lie I told myself, Can’t make the hurt go away, So I raise this glass to nothin’, To the ghost that just won’t leave, No matter what I’m spendin’, Your memory drinks for free.   (Chorus) I’m payin’ for the whiskey, Payin’ for the pain, Bartender keeps pourin’ but it all tastes the same, Every glass I’m buyin’, Just brings you back to me, I guess in this old barroom, Your memory drinks for free.   (Tag) Yeah… Yeah….
