I'll Just Take These - Dwight Yoakam

I think that I

Will just take a memory

A small one that I know

Real well, then go

What I’ll take is all

The happy thoughts I can recall

But I know there won’t be much

That I can bear to touch

So I’ll just take

What my mind can stand

'Cause there’s not a lot

That you can hold

In trembling hands

Just these last few hopeful things

That we left lay

Then quickly leave before

Any more

Get in my way
