Getting down from Houston, trying to forget you
Thought your grip would loosen, but my heart won't let you go
I guess I'm just too slow
Every time I think it's giving in
Your memory wins again

I thought I'd find the phoenix
They've got a room to beat there
And give my mind a re-mix
Never thought you'd be there long
I should have known it all along
Every time I think it's gonna end
Your memory wins again

Why do I run the way I do?
I can't outrun this missing you
'Cause 'round each bend
Your memory wins again

When I rolled into Reno I was wild and happy
Raid on three casinos trying to buy goodbye to you
I'm just wearing out my shoes
'Cause every time I think it's gonna end
Your memory wins again

Oh, why do I run the way I do?
I can't outrun this missing you
'Cause 'round each bend
Your memory wins again

Won't you tell me
Why do I run the way I do?
I can't outrun this missing you
'Cause 'round each bend
Your memory wins again
