"Melodies Are Memories"
(Devon Allman / Duane Betts / Stoll Vaughan)

Juliet, she is a songbird
She got rhythm, she got soul
We found her down in the deep south
Along the Gulf of Mexico

For as we're on that highway
Got them ringing in our ears
These melodies are memories
That's why I'm standing here

Juliet can kill some cold ones
Drink whiskey like any man
But she smell like that sweet jasmine
She don't use tricks or sleight of hand

For as we're on that highway
Got them ringing in our ears
These melodies are memories
Carry us through the years

I don't remember years by numbers
I don't go by the presidents
Just remember the soft whispers
Of Juliet coming across the winds

For as we're on that highway
Got them ringing in our ears
These melodies are memories
Carry us through the years

These melodies are memories
That's why I'm standing
