He Carried Her Memory
It was all that she left him, the night that she left himSo he clung to her memory with all of his mightHe carried it with him everywhere he wentLike a soldier who just couldn't give up the fightHe took it to work, and he brought it back homeHe took it so hard, couldn't leave it aloneWe all called him crazy in our little townThe way that he carried her memory aroundHe boxed it up when he sold their old houseIt rode right beside him there in the front seatHe littered his new place with those same old heartachesIt felt right at home there with her memoryHe took it to church with him three times a weekHe took it to bed when he laid down to sleepThe weight of remembering just wore him downThe longer he carried her memory aroundWhen she never came back, he gave up on JesusAnd he never darkened another church doorHe took up with whiskey, and he took up with women'Till one night he just couldn't take anymoreHe cried, "God forgive me, but I've lost my will"As he reached for that cold empty piece of blue steelThen he put another big hole in his heartThe night that he carried her memory too far
