Here I sit behind the bottle, like I've done so many times
That just ain't no way to shake it, no one else can take her place
And the bottle holds the memory that a new love can't replace
The bottle holds the memory of the times we used to share
She would not take me back again if I cried a million tears
So I smile and run my fingers gently on my new love's face
While I hold the bottled memory that time could not erase
She don't realize I'm lonely, she thinks everything is fine
Tell another joke bartender, Lord I'm about to lose my mind
I'm just goin' thru the motions, Lord I'll never win this race
While I hold the bottled memory that time could not erase
Here I sit behind this bottle like I've done so many times
Drinkin' to my new love with my old love on my mind
That just ain't no way to shake it, no one else can take her place
Old Jerry Lee holds the memory that time cannot erase
Jerry Lee the Killer's got your memory baby, and time will not erase
