Memory Motel Lyrics

    (m. jagger/k. richards)

    Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl
    Her eyes were hazel
    And her nose were 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 to steal my breath away
    Down on the water front
    Her hair all drenched in spray

    Hannah baby was a honey of a girl
    Her eyes were hazel
    And 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
    Well she's one of a kind
    She's got a mind
    She got a mind of her own
    And she use it mighty fine

    She drove a pick-up truck
    Painted green and blue
    The tires were wearing thin
    She turned 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 in texas is the rose of san antone
    I keep on a feeling that's gnawing in my bones

    You're just a memory of a love
    That used to mean so much to me
    You're just a memory girl
    You're just a sweet memory
    And it used to mean so much to me
    Sha la la la la

    She got a mind of her own
    And she use it well
    Mighty fine, she's one of a kind

    On the seventh day my eyes were all a glaze
    We've been ten thousand miles
    Been in fifteen states
    Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind
    I hit the bottle and hit the sack and cried
    What's all this laughter on the 22nd floor
    It's just some friends of mine
    And they're busting down the door
    Been a lonely night at the memory motel
