I don't need the help of the red wine in the glass to ease my mind
I found out the way to forget the way you left me here behind
I drink up a mem'ry and it takes me back to places that I've been
I just think about you and I'm high on the thought of you again
I can see me anytime I want to in my favorite chair at home
I played like a horse when the children needed one to ride on
With each memory I drink it makes me feel so good and warm within
I just think about you and I'm high on the thought of you again
I'm high on the thought just knowing that one time you belonged to me
And we lived in the world that was honest till he came between you and me
So I'll keep drinkin' memories cause the past is for I live in
I just think about you and I'm high on the thought of you again
Yeah I just think about you and I'm high on the thought of you again
