Posession of a Memr'Y

I was headed on home From a 12 hour shift Next thing I knew I ended up in a ditch Cop came along And wanted to know Son were you drinkin' Why'd you go off the road I said I'm guilty sir Of only one thing Lovin' too much Then losing my dream I ain't had a sip Or done any drugs It's only her memr'y That's got me messed up I'm in possession of a memr'y It's all my mind keeps revolving around I'm in possession of a memr'y When I think of her it gets me down I must have dosed off In dreams of better days The last time I saw her Was just yesterday She walked with a smile Holding another mans hand It's all too much For me to comprehend I'd have given my life Body and soul I'm sorry sir Am I free to go I'm in possession of a memr'y It's all my mind keeps revolving around I'm in possession of a memr'y When I think of her it gets me down With an understanding look He said you're free to go But before you do I want you to know I've been in your shoes And I've walked that line The only help out there Is simply just time I'm a man of the law But I'm also guilty For I too posess An old memory I'm in possession of a memr'y.......
