Lyrics
POCKET FULL OF MEMORIES
Words & music by James A. Nelson 010506
I?VE GOT A POCKET FULL OF MEMORIES
ALL FOLDED UP WITH TIME
A POCKET FULL OF MEMORIES
FROM BACK WHEN YOU WERE MINE
A POCKET FULL OF MEMORIES
ALL TATTERED ON THE END
A POCKET FULL OF MEMORIES
I?M CLEARING OUT AGAIN
I?VE GOT A CARD IN MY WALLET
THAT TELLS ME WHO I AM
ANOTHER ONE RIGHT BEHIND IT
IN CASE I NEED SOME CASH
(CHORUS)
THERE?S A GROCERY STORE DISCOUNT CARD
IN CASE I DECIDE TO EAT
AND A PICTURE FROM A HAPPY TIME
BACK WHEN YOU SAID THAT YOU LOVED ME
(CHORUS)
THERE?S A NUMBER HERE FOR ME TO CALL
SHOULD I WANT A DRINK
A FISHING LICENSE ALL FOLDED UP
SHOULD I NEED TIME TO THINK
A LOTTERY TICKET, A GAS RECIEPT,
THE SPARE KEY TO MY TRUCK
BUT WITHOUT YOU HERE WITH ME,
I GUESS I?M JUST OUT OF LUCK
