(Jerry Laseter/Roger Murrah)

I can hear you smilin' on the 'phone
Bet you thought that I'd be cryin'
Go on, tell yourself I done you wrong
But we both know you'd be lyin'
We don't have to have a reason,
If your heart is set on leavin'

To remember on some rainy day,
A little simple word or thought,
Or a birthday card I bought
Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away,
You never can be free,
From a memory like I'm gonna be

That greener grass you think you see:
Hah, is just a high-heeled illusion
Better count the cost of bein' free,
Is it worth all that you're losin'?
It may be over, but it's not ending
'Cause there's one thing you're forgetting

An' you'll remember on some rainy day,
The little things we used to do,
Like that night in Baton Rouge
Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away,
You never can be free,
From a memory like I'm gonna be

When it all comes back someday,
You'll be surprised on some lonely night
When you close your eyes

Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away,
You never can be free,
From a memory like I'm gonna be

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(From a memory)

Just surrender, 'cause you can't get away,
You never can be free,
From a memory like I'm gonna be
