About The Song
“Some Memories Just Won’t Die” is a song by Marty Robbins released in 1982. The single reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in May 1982. It was one of Robbins’ final major hits before his passing in December 1982. The track was included on compilations and posthumous releases, with Columbia issuing related material in 1983.
The song was part of Robbins’ late-career output on Columbia Records. In October 1982, Billboard awarded him an “Artist Resurgence Award” recognizing renewed success, partly driven by this track. The recording sessions reflected his ongoing work in Nashville during the early 1980s. Posthumous albums drew from tracks completed around this period.
Marty Robbins had a long and successful career with Columbia, spanning multiple decades and genres. “Some Memories Just Won’t Die” exemplified his continued ability to deliver country ballads with strong chart performance.

Lyric
You say it’s over, you say it’s through
It was a long long time ago and he means nothin’ to you
Oh, but I heard you call his name while you were sleepin’
Some memories just won’t dieSome memories just won’t die
No matter how hard we try
They keep comin’ back to haunt us
Some memories just won’t die
