Memory Motel (2025 Mix) Lyrics

Hannah Honey was a peachy kind of girl
Her eyes were hazel and her nose was slightly curved
We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel
It's on the ocean, I guess you know it well
It took a starry night to steal my breath away
Down on the waterfront, her hair all drenched in spray

Hannah Baby was a honey of a girl
Her eyes were hazel, her teeth were slightly curved
She took my guitar and she began to play
She sang a song to me, stuck right in my brain

You're just a memory
Of a love that used to be
You're just a memory
Of a love that used to mean so much to me

She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah
Well, she's one of a kind
Got a mind
She got a mind of her own, yeah
And she used it mighty fine

She drove a pickup truck painted green and blue
The tires were wearing thin, she's done a mile or two
When I asked her where she headed for
"Back up to Boston, I'm singing in a bar"
I got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge
My nerves are shot already, the road ain't all that smooth
Across from Texas is the road to San Antone
I keep on a-feeling that's gnawing in my bones

You're just a memory (just a memory)
Of a love that used to mean so much to me
(Just a memory) you're just a memory
(Just a memory)
Of a love that used to mean so much to me

You're just a memory, girl
(You're just a memory)
That used to mean so much to me

Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la

You're just a memory
Of a love that used to mean so much to me

She got a mind of her own, and she use it well, yeah
'Cause she's one of a kind
She got a mind of her own, she's one of a kind
And she use it well

On the seventh day my eyes were all a-glazed
We've been ten thousand miles, we've been in fifteen states
Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind
I hit the bottle and I hit the sack and cried
What's all this laughter on the twenty-second floor?
It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the doors
It's been a lonely night at the Memory Motel

You're just a memory, girl
(Just a memory)
And it used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory, girl
(You're just a memory)
And it used to mean so much to me

You're just a memory, girl
(You're just a memory)
And it used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory
Of a love that used to mean so much to me

She got a mind of her own and she used it well
Well, she's one of a kind
