You can't put your arms around a memory

[Intro] [spoken] This one's for you Johhny [Verse 1] It doesn't pay to try All the smart boys know why It doesn't mean, I didn't try I just never know, why It's isn't because I'm all alone Oh, baby, you're not home And when I'm home Big deal, I'm still alone [Chorus] It's so restless, I am Beat my head against a pole Try to knock some sense, down beside my bones And even though it don't show Those guys are so old Can't put your arms around a memory Can't put your arms around a memory Can't put your arms around a memory Don't try Don't try [Verse 2] You're just a basket case And you got no name Could you live with me? Go on and say And even though it don't show Those guys are so old [Chorus] Can't put your arms around a memory Can't put your arms around a memory Can't put your arms around a memory Don't try Don't try [Bridge] [spoken] Johnny you're me Yeah, your memory I want to put my arms around your memory [Outro] I can't try[x2] Don't try
