The Best Of Me

[Verse 1]
I found a box of memories
Read a letter dropped a tear where you signed your name
And turning the page smearing the ink and the love always
Girl I always start this way
Then I end up in a bottle screaming out your name
And punching the walls, carrying on like I've gone insane
And in the mirror I can see the man who just shook his head with no remorse
And watched an angel crying tears packing all of her things as she walked out the door

[Chorus]
'Cause there aren’t nothing like a memory
When it’s coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away
It’s killing me baby
It’s got me pouring up another drink
Bourbons hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against a wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me

[Verse 2]
Well I remember it all too well
Riding 441 down to Milledgeville
Crossing the bridge as the sun set on Lake Sinclair
I couldn’t wait to see your smile but all I saw was tears in your pretty eyes
And that said it all, it was all downhill from there
And I remember you saying baby please don’t give up on me
Aw but baby this stubborn man is going to lie in the bed he made

[Chorus]
'Cause there aren’t nothing like a memory
When it’s coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away
It’s killing me baby
It’s got me pouring up another drink
Bourbons hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against a wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me

'Cause there aren’t nothing like a memory
When it’s coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away
It’s killing me baby
It’s got me pouring up another drink
Bourbons hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against a wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me

[Outro]
Whoa gets the best of me
