Dusty Old Memory

Look back, babe, I’m like no man that you’ve ever met before
I was a fighter when you needed and a lover when we got through the war
You’ll never have a boy, dear, who can love you half the way that I did
I know your story line by every line even the pages you thought you had hid

Dust off the memories
We were the greatest lovers in town
You were this old southern child’s dream
Darling, Pretty Angel but you’ve broken us now

So how’s your new man, baby, the one who made you change every part of you?
The one who doesn’t know that your daddy hit your momma
The one who believes the lies you’ve sold are cute and sweet and true
I hope, for you my dear, one day some one sees you the way I do
As something more than just a sexual prize
I hope they see the beauty that is you

But when you dust off your memories
We were still the greatest lovers in town
You were this old southern child’s dream
Darling, Pretty Angel when you came around
But baby, you’ve broke, broke, broken us now
