[Intro — Rough Male, Bass Pickup] Well, baby… I shut that door. What you coming back for? One, two—let it roll! [Chorus — Male Lead, Female Answers] Your memory keeps knocking! (Knock, knock, knocking!) My old heart keeps rocking! (Rock, rock, rocking!) Got a few beers in me, but the truth cuts through— Every road I take runs back to you! No more! No more! (Then what you waiting for?) Your memory keeps knocking— And I’m staring at the door! [Verse 1 — Deep Gritty Male] Tried to tell you gently what was breaking in my chest, We were living miles apart while sleeping inches from the rest. Now the piano man is playing something I don’t wanna hear, And the words I never told you keep getting louder here. [Chorus — Full Duet] Your memory keeps knocking! (Knock, knock, knocking!) My old heart keeps rocking! (Rock, rock, rocking!) Got a few beers in me, but the truth cuts through— Every road I take runs back to you! No more! No more! (Then what you waiting for?) Your memory keeps knocking— And I’m staring at the door! [Post-Chorus — Female Lead] Hey, baby! Let it ring! You can’t drown everything! Hey, baby! Face the floor— There’s a shadow underneath that door! [Instrumental — Driving Bass, Honky-Tonk Piano, Twang Guitar] [Verse 2 — Male / Female] I keep saying I’m better, keep buying another round. (But you turn when someone says her name!) Got a pocket full of reasons, none worth writing down. (And tomorrow they’ll still sound the same!) I can laugh above the music, I can dance until it’s late— But the quiet’s always waiting when they close that gate. [Bridge — Half-Time, Building] All this drinking, all this thinking, All these nights of running round… I’m tired of waking up with What I tried so hard to drown. Love is more than just a habit, More than gold around a hand— I should’ve stayed and listened. Now I understand. [Final Chorus — Big Duet, Full Bass] Your memory keeps knocking! (Knock, knock, knocking!) My old heart keeps rocking! (Rock, rock, rocking!) Got a few beers in me, but the truth cuts through— Every road I take runs back to you! No more! No more! (Can’t hide it anymore!) Your memory keeps knocking— And I’m walking to the door! [Outro — Repeated Duet, Guitar Fills, Fade] Keeps on knocking! (Knock, knock, knocking!) Heart keeps rocking! (Rock, rock, rocking!) Your memory keeps knocking at my door… Can’t pretend I don’t hear it anymore… Knock, knock, knocking… Anymore…
