Faron Young – I’ve Got Precious Memories Lyrics
I was walkin’ home from work last night
And I got so tired and thirsty
The fool inside of me said stop one drink’s alright
Then I walked into a barroom
And that’s where I met temptation
Though I fought to keep control of me
Temptation won the fight
Now I’ve got precious memories
They’re all I’ve got to cling to
Precious memories are all I’ve got to hold
I’ve got memories of a sweet wife
And memories of a good life
That was just before temptation
Told my sweet wife all she knows
She had long black hair and eyes as blue as heaven
And the dress she wore fit her much too tight
And that’s when passion called me and I answered
And though I fought to keep control of me
Temptation won the fight
Now I’ve got precious memories
They’re all I’ve got to cling to
Precious memories are all I’ve got to hold
I’ve got memories of a sweet wife
And memories of a good life
That was just before temptation
Told my sweet wife all she knows
