You should've kept the diamond ring, I gave it to you for free
Now I don't need no souvenirs after what you've done to me
It's just a little old shiny stone, but it sure does slow me down
So I'm gonna throw it off the nearest bridge and then I'll leave this
town

There's nothing left of this love affair, that I really need
I guess I'll throw out everything except your memory
'Cause I can drive this beat-up truck from here to Timbuktu
Lay down flat on a bed of nails and I'd still dream of you


'Cause I can run from your memory but I can't hide
Can't drown it down by the river side
The further I go, the harder we collide
I can run from your memory but I can't hide

Well I have hallucinations, they hit me from the blue
Where you've still got your diamond ring, and I've still got you
I might as well just give it up, 'cause the damage has been done
You'd drive me crazy anyway, if I stay or if I run

'Cause I can run from your memory but I can't hide
Can't drown it down by the river side
The further I go, the harder we collide

I can run from your memory but I can't hide
I can run from your memory but I can't hide
