You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory

It doesn't pay to try,

All the smart boys know why,

It doesn't mean, I didn't try,

I just never know, why.



It's isn't 'cause I'm all alone

Oh, baby, you're not home.

And when I'm home

Big deal, I'm still alone.



It's so restless, I am,

Beat my head against a pole

Try to knock some sense, down 'side my bones.

And even though it don't show,

Those guys are so old.

Can't put your arms around a memory,

Can't put your arms around a memory,

Can't put your arms around a memory.

Don't try

Don't try



You're just a bastard kid.

And you got no name.

Could you live with me ?

Go on and say.

And even though it don't show

Those guys are so old.

Can't put your arms around a memory,



Can't put your arms around a memory.

Can't put your arms around a memory.

Don't try

Don't try



"Johnny you're me

Yeah, you're memory

I wanna put my arms around your memory

I can't try.. I can't try, don't try."
