[00:01.12]Willie Nelson - The Local Memory
[00:03.07]
[00:08.89]The lights go out each evening at eleven
[00:13.57]And up and down our block there's not a sound
[00:18.32]I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber
[00:22.85]And just then the local mem'ry comes around
[00:27.66]Piles of blues against the door to make sure sleep will come no more
[00:32.51]He's the hardest working mem'ry in this town
[00:37.14]Turns out happiness againand then lets loneliness back in
[00:42.15]And each night the local mem'ry comes around
[00:52.11]
[00:54.25]Each day I say tonight I may escape him
[00:59.05]I pretend I'm happy and never even a frown
[01:03.87]But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds me
[01:08.68]But again the local mem'ry comes around
[01:13.24]Rids the house of all good news then sets out my crying shoes
[01:18.26]What a faithful mem'ry never lets me down
[01:22.86]We're both up till light of day chasing happiness away
[01:27.90]And each night the local mem'ry comes around
[01:32.61]And each night the local mem'ry comes around
[01:44.28]
