Ode To Johnny (aka You Cant Put Your Arms Around A Memory) Lyrics

It doesn't pay to try all the smart boys know why

It doesn't mean I didn't try I'll just never know why

And even when i'm home Big deal im still alone

You see how restless i am, I beat my head against a pole

Just trying to knock some sense down in these bones

And even though they don't show the scars are so old

And even when they go they'll still let you know



Chorus





You can't put your arms around a memory (3 times)

Don't try, don't try, don't try



You're just a messed up kid, and you got no need

Because you're living with him, we're one in the same

And even though they never show, the scars they are so

And when they go, they're gonna let you know

Chorus
