Memory Lane - Daniel Amos

You have gotten much thinner

You’re looking like a shadow

It’s from dwelling on the might-have-beens

Living in a time-warp

To whom am I speaking?

Some ghost from the past?

While you think about old glories

You’re fading real fast

You take too many trips down memory lane

You take too many trips down memory lane

You take another trip down memory lane

You go down there once too often and you’re likely to remain

You play old music

Well, some of it’s a bore

To me it’s all irrelevant

Like Haight Street and love beads

Still you want to make a statement

But this nostalgia thing hangs on

Your friends all miss the point 'cause

They see where you’ve gone

They’ve seen that you’ve gone to

Take too many trips down memory lane

You take too many trips down memory lane

You take another trip down memory lane

You go down there once too often and you’re likely to remain

It’s another flat testimony

Inflated with emotional gas

Though the truth never changes

Shouldn’t you?

Couldn’t you?

Shouldn’t you?

Couldn’t you?

(I'm trying)

Couldn’t you?

Shouldn’t you?

Couldn’t you?

Won’t you?

You make a list of all your failures

You count all your heartaches

Please sit up straight at the table

And eat your words

Much too weak

I think complaining is a crime

And like the boy who cries wolf

We don’t believe you anymore, we watch you

Travel back in time to

Take too many trips down memory lane

You take too many trips down memory lane

You take another trip down memory lane

You go down there once too often and you’re likely to remain
