Turnin' Off a Memory

Let me tell you about a song
That I wrote especially for my friends with drinkin' problems
Or maybe I should say my friends with problems enough to drink
Anyway it's just an old theme of a man sittin' in a barroom
Tryin' to drown his past
It's called I'm Turnin' Off A Memory

You can find me in dim lighted barroom
If your coldness should ever turn warm
But the chances of you ever changing
Are as slim as your two loving arms

So I'm turnin' off a mem'ry
As quickly as time will allow
I'm turnin' off a mem'ry
And the wine seems to help me somehow

If I'm lucky I'll some day forget you
When the wine finally takes full control
It's not much of a future to look to
But I can't stand this pain in my soul

So I'm turnin' off a mem'ry...
And the wine seems to help me somehow
