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

Chorus:
Now there's a man with a memory
Here's a woman with a past
Lost souls on life's highway forever looking back
When you're living 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 and cranks that old 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

Chorus

Oh, we've all got something we've got to get around
Now and then you get the chance to help the lost get found

Stacking chairs and sweeping up
He can't help a little smile
