(x2) Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl Her eyes were hazel and her nose was slightly curved We spent a night at the Memory Motel It's on the ocean I guess you knmow it well It took a starry night to steal my breath away Down on the waterfront her hair all drenched in spray             Hannah baby was a honey of a girl Her eyes were hazel her teeth were slightly curved She took my guitar and she began to play She sang a song to me stuck right in my brain You're just a memory  of a love that used to be You're just a memory  of a love That used to mean so much to me                                      She got a mind of her own and she use it well yeah   Well she's one of the kind Got a mind                      She got a mind of her own yeah and she use it mighty fine She drove her pickup truck painted green and blue The tires were wearin' thin she's done a mile or two When I asked her where's she headed for Back up to Boston I'm singin' in a bar I've got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge My nerves was shot already the road ain't all that smooth Across in Texas is the rose in San Antone I keep on a feelin' that gnawin' in my bone You're just a memory (just a memory) of a love That used to mean so much to me. (just a memory) You're just a memory (just a memory) of a love That used to mean so much to me (You're just a memory girl) You're just a sweet old memory And it used to mean so much to me Sha-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la You're just a memory of a love That used to mean so much to me She got a mind of her own and she use it well yeah Mighty fine 'cause she's one of a kind She got a mind of her own she's one of a kind And she use it well On the seventh day my eyes were all aglaze We've been ten thousand miles we've been in fifteen states Every woman seem to fade out of my mind I hit the bottle then I hit the sack and cried What's all this laughter on the twenty second floor It's just some friends of mine And they're bustin' down the door It's been a lonely night at the Memory Motel You're just a memory girl Just a memory And it used to mean so much to me You're just a memory girl You're just a memory And it used to mean so much to me You're just a memory girl You're just a sweet old memory And it used to mean so much to me You're just a memory of a love That used to mean so much to me  She got a mind of her own and she use it well yeah   Well she's one of the kind

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque un souvenir teinté de nostalgie d'une relation amoureuse passée. Le narrateur se remémore une jeune femme, Hannah, dont la beauté et le charme l'ont marqué. Ils ont partagé une nuit magique dans un motel en bord de mer, où elle a joué de la guitare et chanté, laissant une empreinte indélébile dans son esprit. Tout en voyageant à travers différents États, le narrateur ressent un vide, confronté à la solitude, et réalise que ce qui reste de leur amour n'est qu'un écho lointain. Le contexte semble être une période de route et de vie de musicien, marqué par des rencontres éphémères et des souvenirs persistants. La chanson souligne la difficulté de tourner la page sur des moments qui ont été précieux, tout en admirant l'indépendance et le caractère unique de celle qu'il a aimée.
