"The Best Of Me" lyrics - BRANTLEY GILBERT

I found a box of memories
Read a letter
Dropped a tear where you signed your name
And turning the page
Smearing the ink into Love Always
Girl, I always start this way a
Nd then I end up in a bottle screaming out your name
Punching the walls, carrying on like I've gone insane
And in the mirror
I can see the man who just shook his head with no remorse
Watching an angel cry her tears
Stepping over my beers as you walked out the door

[Chorus:]
And there ain't nothing like a memory
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away?
Killing me baby
It's got me pouring up another drink
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against the wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me

Well, I remember it all too well
Riding 441 down to Milledgeville
Crossing the bridge as the sun set on Lake Sinclair
I couldn't wait to see you smile
But all I saw were tears in your pretty eyes and that said it all
It was all downhill from there
And I remember you saying, Baby
Please don't give up on me
Oh my baby, this stubborn man is gonna lie in the bed he made

[Chorus:]
'Cause there ain't nothing like a memory
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away?
It's killing me baby
It's got me pouring up another drink
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against the wall or on my knees
When the worst of your memory gets the best, the best of me

[Outro:]
Baby, there ain't nothing like a memory
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane
How can love like that just up and walk away?
Your killing me baby
Got me pouring up another drink
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train
With my back against the wall or on my knees
When the words to your memory gets the best, the best of me
