Local Memory Lyrics - Naked Willie - Willie Nelson

The lights go out each evening at eleven 

And up and down our block there's not a sound 

I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber 

And just then the local memory comes around 

Piles of blues against the door to make sure sleep will come no more 

She's the hardest working memory in this town 

Turns out happiness again then lets loneliness back in 

And each night the local memory comes around 

Each day I say tonight I may escape her 

I pretend I'm happy and never even a frown 

But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds me 

But again the local memory comes around 

Rids the house of all good news then sets out my crying shoes 

What a faithful memory never lets me down 

We're both up till light of day chasing happiness away 

And each night the local memory comes around

And each night the local memory comes around
