Married To A Memory

Married To A Memory
(Kurt Fortmeyer)
Dad Zone Music ASCAP

She’s the kind of woman who’ll do things by herself
She won’t hesitate to tell you she don’t need nobody else
So before you try to talk to her I hope you’ll understand
She’ll never let you close enough to ever be her friend

She’s a little bit defensive won’t return a smile
Some think she’s bold some call her cold and some say that’s her style
She acts so independent but she’s really not that strong
She’s just married to a memory of a man who did her wrong

It might have been the preacher who had her on her knees
Or a traffic cop at a late night stop who took some liberties
That soccer coach in middle school or the first boy that she kissed
It might have been her daddy turned her into this

A little bit defensive won’t return a smile
Some think she’s bold some call her cold and some say that’s her style
She acts so independent but she’s really not that strong
She’s just married to a memory of a man who did her wrong

I don’t mean to run her down and I’m not talking trash
I’m only trying to shed some light on a shadow from her past

She’s a little bit defensive won’t return a smile
Some think she’s bold some call her cold and some say that’s her style
She acts so independent but she’s really not that strong
She’s just married to a memory of a man who did her wrong
Yeah she’s married to the memory of a man who did her wrong
