George Jones - Memories Lyrics
Almost every sunday we'd gather around the home placeThat's badly in need of my mamma's loving handUs kids we offered everything from easy chairs to moneyBut his pride won't let us lend a helping hand.Chorus:Daddy's living off the memories of mamaThat's what keeps him goin' everydayThe only trips he ever takes are high upon that mountainWhere mama lies a-sleeping in the shade.--- Instrumental ---From the porch I see a memory he didn't have the heart to sellAnd through the dust and all the rust I can see some faded greenIt's that '47 pick-up, Oh, my mama loved so wellWhen we loaded up and followed our dreams.Chorus:Daddy's living off the memories of mamaThat's what keeps him goin' everydayThe only trips he ever takes are high upon that mountainWhere mama lies a-sleeping in the shade.Chorus:Daddy's living off the memories of mama.Mama...
