ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES TODAY

                     BY ROBB STRANDLUND

WOULD YOU BELIEVE I USED TO HAVE A FAMILY?
YOU SEE I DIDN'T ALWAYS LOOK THIS WAY.
I HAD A HOME BEFORE THE SOUTHSIDE MISSION,
YOU'D NEVER KNOW BY SEEING ME TODAY.

YESTERDAY MY LIFE WAS FULL AND HAPPY,
BUT NOW IT'S GONE, I'VE THROWN IT ALL AWAY.
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D FALL,
BUT THE BOTTLE TOOK IT ALL.
ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES TODAY.

ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES TODAY.
OF TIMES WHEN ALL THE WORLD WAS BRIGHT AND GAY.
AND DAYS WITH STORMY WEATHER,
WE SHARED THEM ALL TOGETHER.
ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES TODAY.

THE DOCTOR'S SAY THAT I HAVE GOT A SICKNESS,
BUT I'M AFRAID IT'S JUST MY STATE OF MIND.
THEY SAY I'LL DIE IF I DON'T STOP MY DRINKIN'
HOW COULD THEY KNOW THAT DEATH COULD BE SO KIND.

I USED TO HAVE A HOUSE UP ON THE NORTH SIDE.
I SOLD IT LORD IT SEEMS JUST YESTERDAY.
NOW I'M ALL OUT OF WINE,
SAY COULD YOU SPARE ME A DIME.
'CAUSE ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES TODAY.

ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES TODAY.
OF TIMES WHEN ALL THE WORLD WAS BRIGHT AND GAY.
AND DAYS WITH STORMY WEATHER,
WE SHARED THEM ALL TOGETHER.
ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES TODAY.

ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES TODAY.
