Lyrics of A memory behind

She took me from canyon to copter
Somewhere between here and forever
I dropped her
I sat on the edge of my seat
To see if she'd land on her feet
She was all of a girl
And i was all of a boy
I was her tool
She was my toy
I never stopped loving her
But i let her go
The oldest story ever told
Quick as a shadow
Final as a sigh
I buried her deep in my mind
She's always a memory away
But i'm always a memory behind
At a roadside attraction
Somewhere in georgia
A state trooper saw the whole thing
But ignored it
I gave the attendant a drink from my flask
He said if you wanted privacy,
Hell, you couldve asked
Then we were back on the road
To places unknown
They dont make a map
For nowhere to go
I never stopped loving her
But one thing i know
The best thing i ever did
Was to let her go
She shattered the darkness
Like a prism breaks light
I buried her deep in my mind
She's only a memory away
But i'm always a memory behind
She took me from canyon to copter
Somewhere between here and forever
I dropped her
I sat on the edge of my seat
To see if she'd land on her feet
