You Can't Keep A Good Memory Down Lyrics

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
