- Key of F
D D7 G
Lost my pickup in a card game in New Orleans
A D
Lost my girl to a stranger in L.A.
D G
Left my dreams in a motel in Atlanta
A D
And I guess I lost my mind along the way
G D
Can't you see I'm dyin' on my feet
G A
Walkin' to my grave, too gone to weep
G D
These old memories is tearin' up my mind
A D
They’re just dreams of a dreamer gone blind
The bright lights have gone away for the good times
This old yearning in my soul chills my brain
The ashes of my years have been scattered
By the laughter, wine and life of yesterday
Chorus
These old memories is tearin' up my mind
They’re just dreams of a dreamer gone blind
