He Carried Her Memory Songtext
von Bradley Walker

It was all that she left him
The night that she left him
So he clung to her memory
With all of his might
He carried it with him
Everywhere he went
Like a soldier who just
Couldn′t give up the fight

He took it to work
And he brought it back home
He took it so hard
Couldn't leave it alone
We all called him crazy in our little town
The way that he carried
Her memory around


He boxed it up
When he sold their old house
It rode right beside him
There in the front seat
He littered his new place
With those same old heartaches
And felt right at home there
With her memory

He took it to church with him
Three times a week
He took it to bed when he
Laid down to sleep
The weight of remembering
Just wore him down
The longer he carried
Her memory around

When she never came back
He gave up on Jesus
And he never darkened
Another church door
He took up with whiskey
And he took up with women
′Til one night he just
Couldn't take anymore


He cried, "God, forgive me
But I've lost my will"
As he reached for that cold
Deadly piece of blue steel
Then he put another big hole in his heart
The night that he carried
Her memory too far
