Ol' Johnny's got a heart of gold   Ask anyone around here   But some nights his eyes are far away   And filled with tears   Sweet Mary Lou's just as good as they come   With a weakness for all the wrong men   From the look on her face tonight, she's been wrong again   Bartender's thinkin' to himself as he rubs his towel around a glass      Now there's a man with a memory   There's a woman with a past   Lost souls on life's highway   Forever lookin' back   When you're livin' for the love   And the love doesn't last   You get a man with a memory   A woman with a past      Bartender turns the TV down   Cranks that ol' jukebox up   Carefully selects which buttons to push   For what each song does   C-23 after J-19, it's a tonic for a broken heart   A little Stardust in the mix, it's a fine, fine art   Dim the lights a notch or two   The next round is on the house      For the man with a memory   And the woman with a past   Lost souls on life's highway   Forever lookin' back   When you're livin' for the love   And the love doesn't last   You get a man with a memory   A woman with a past      Oh, we've all got somethin'   We've got to get around   Now and then you get the chance   To help the lost get found      Stackin' chairs and sweepin' up   He can't help a little smile      Thinkin' 'bout the man with a memory   And the woman with a past   Lost souls on life's highway   Forever lookin' back   When you're livin' for the love   And the love doesn't last   You get a man with a memory   A woman with a past      You get a man with a memory   A woman with a past
