John Audrey Wiggins – Memory Making Night lyrics

written by 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
