(Tom Shapiro - Paul Nelson)

All at once here I am in this barroom
And most any night I'd be home
But those old thoughts of her are beginning to stir
I need to be anywhere but alone.

When you close, you can call me a taxi
Until then you can call me a fool
So just bring me a glass and don't bring up the past
If you did I don't know what I'd do.

I'm right on the edge of a mem'ry
Lord knows, I don't wanna fall.

'Cause it tells me she'll always be gone
And reminds me where I went wrong.
Yeah, I'm right on the edge of a mem'ry
And just hangin' on.

--- Instrumental ---

So bartender just keep 'em coming
Till she and I go out of my mind
Tonight I refuse to take on the blues
I'll just put off the truth till closing time.

I'm right on the edge of a mem'ry
Lord knows, I don't wanna fall.

'Cause it tells me she'll always be gone
And reminds me where I went wrong.
Yeah, I'm right on the edge of a mem'ry
And just hangin' on.

Yeah, I'm right on the edge of a mem'ry
And just hangin' on...
