Memory Making Night

(John Wayne Wiggins)

Ginger worked in a cafe

Small town Tennessee

The cook Joe was a little slow

But he kept the floor mopped and the kitchen clean

Two young people in an old fashioned town

They got together when the cafe closed

And the Tennessee moon came out

They drove down to the river

He looked her dead in the eyes

He could feel her trembling hands

They made love by the river

And they held on tight

To those memory making nights

It happened in the winter

After the cafe closed

Ginger had a change of heart

She'd fallen out of love with Joe

Tired of the cafe

Life didn't seem right

She was getting out of that nowhere town

She planned on leaving Joe that night

They drove down to the river

He looked her dead in the eyes

He could feel her trembling hands

She told him there by the river

Good-bye

Another memory making night

Joe went crazy

When she told him good-bye

Now he sits in a small room

And thinks about that night

He held her down in the river

She looked him dead in the eyes

He could feel her trembling hands

As she lay still in the river

Joe cried

Another memory making night

Joe cried

Another memory making night
