Lyrics You Can't Keep a Good Memory Down - John Anderson

You Can't Keep a Good Memory Down

I sold the house we lived in And moved a thousand miles to get away
But the feeling that I’m running from
Was waiting here when I unpacked today
She’s on my mind and in my heart
I hear her voice, what a haunting sound
You can leave the past behind you
But you can’t keep a good memory down
I wandered through these city streets
Oh, I feel so out of place
And in this crowd of strangers
Everywhere I turn I see her face
Oh, it’s hard to know just what to do Or where to go, where hurt don’t hang around
You can leave the past behind you
But you can’t keep a good memory down
You can start your life all over
Go somewhere where everything is new
But if there’s a memory strong enough
It won’t let go of you
Oh, she’s on my mind and in my heart
I hear her voice, what a haunting sound
You can leave the past behind you
But you can’t keep a good memory down
Oh, you may leave the past behind you
But you can’t keep a good memory down
