Lyrics:

(Dwight Yoakam)

i Think That I Will Just Take A Memory
a Small One That I Know Real Well, Then Go

what I'll Take Is All The Happy Thoughts I Can Recall
but I Know There Won't Be Much That I Can Bear To Touch

chorus
so I'll Just Take What My Mind Can Stand
'cause There's Not A Lot That You Can Hold
in Trembling Hands

just These Last Few Hopeful Things That We Left Lay
then Quickly Leave Before Any More
get In My Way

chorus
so I'll Just Take What My Mind Can Stand
'cause There's Not A Lot That You Can Hold
in Trembling Hands
