from the songs album Hit The Highway
Yesterday arrived too quickly
Caught me right off guard
My defence moved in too slowly
Missed it by a yard
I'd just settled down
With a bottle of gin
So i moved on to whiskey
And it hit me again
Memories were raining punches
Down on my head
Knocked me into the past so quickly
They almost raised the dead
So i drank some more booze
And it helped me to sleep
Where i dreamed of my youth
And the secrets i keep
Oh history is a friend of mine
She comes over to my place
And we have a good time
But the memories
She sometimes brings with her
Get out of line
They're out of line
Show me things i don't want to see
(wanna see, wanna see, wanne see)
Remind me of who i thought i was gonna be
(ganna be, gonna be, gonna be)
Take me places i used to go
(used to go, used to go)
A long long time ago
When i woke i remembered nothing
Suppose that's just as well
And although my head was aching
I could hear a bell
So i put on some clothes
And i reached my front door
When i pulled it wide open
She joined me once more
Oh history is a friend of mine
She comes over to my place
And we have a good time
But the memories
She sometimes brings with her
Get out of line
They're out of line
Show me things i don't want to see
(wanna see, wanna see, wanna see)
Remind me of who i thought i was gonna be
(ganna be, gonna be, gonna be)
Take me places i used to go
(used to go, used to go)
A long long time ago
A long long time ago
