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
