I saw your car today
It looked like it anyway
Those foreign makes all look the same
It took me way back to
That time when I watched you
Slam the door and drive away
Ever since that night I just can?t shake your memory
It?s everywhere I go
And every thing I see

It?s all over town
Tryin? to track me down
Makin? sure that your old flame stays lit
Just like a blue tick hound
Doggin? me around
You?ve got a memory that just won?t quit

I’ve been out a time or two
But what?s a man to do
When your memory tags along
I tried to give it the slip
I got out in front of it
But somehow it always beats me home
It always seems to hunt me down
And chase me up a tree
No matter what I just can?t lose your memory

It?s all over town
Tryin? to track me down
Makin? sure that your old flame stays lit
Just like a blue tick hound
Doggin? me around
And you?ve got a memory that just won?t quit
Just like a blue tick hound
Doggin? me around
You?ve got a memory that just won?t quit

Ain’t nothing so precious as a first born child
What to call their little angel
They wondered for awhile
Your dear mama Violet
And your proud daddy Dale
I know when they named ya
They surely meant well, but…

Vidalia, Vidalia
Girl won’t you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
You always gotta make me cry

I never paid no attention to a girl before
Till the day I saw you standin’
In the Sunday school door
One boy sorta snickered when the roll was read
Till you laid the word of God
Up ‘side of his head

Vidalia, Vidalia
Girl won’t you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
You always gotta make me cry

When I try to get too close
Seems like we’ve always been almost
Just one step or two away from true love

Well I love the way you walk, I love the way you kiss
I love to get away with you alone like this
If I could mention just one little thing
Vidalia would ya stop livin’ up to your name

Vidalia, Vidalia
Girl won’t you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
You always gotta make me cry

Vidalia
Girl won’t you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry

Each night you show up about a quarter to two
And in my dreams you always come true
And for awhile it’s just like old times
But before I know it you say goodbye

But I’ll meet you same place, same time
I’ll be waitin’ at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, I’ll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday

I’ve learned to face and live with the fact
That in real life you’re not coming back
Guess I’ll never know why you said goodbye
My only consolation is I know that I

Will meet you same place, same time
I’ll be waitin’ at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, I’ll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday
Same place, same time
I’ll be waitin’ at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, I’ll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday
