Aaron Tippin – She Made A Memory Out Of Me

About The Song

“She Made a Memory Out of Me” was co-written and recorded by American country music artist Aaron Tippin. It was released in 1991 as the third single from his debut album, You’ve Got to Stand for Something, on RCA Records Nashville. The song peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, following the success of the album’s title track and “I Wonder How Far It Is Over You.”

The song was recorded in Nashville, produced by Emory Gordy Jr. The track features Tippin’s baritone vocals, characterized by a heavy nasal Southern twang, supported by a traditional country arrangement with steel guitar by Kayton Roberts and fiddle by Mark O’Connor. The track runs approximately 2:31.

The lyrics depict a man reflecting on a lost love, with lines like “She made a memory out of me, just a vision of the past is all you see.” Tippin co-wrote the song with Buddy Brock, crafting a narrative about a man transformed into a relic of the past by a woman’s departure, emphasizing themes of regret and emotional permanence.

The recording process involved engineers like Alan Schulman and mixing by Steve Tillisch, with additional contributions from assistant engineers Jeff Giedt and Jeff Coppage. The song was part of Tippin’s debut album, which earned a gold certification from the RIAA.

Upon release, “She Made a Memory Out of Me” charted modestly, contributing to the album’s overall performance. The album, released in late 1991, reached gold status, buoyed by the success of “You’ve Got to Stand for Something,” which became an anthem for soldiers during the Gulf War.

Tippin, born on July 3, 1958, in Pensacola, Florida, and raised in South Carolina, promoted the single with live performances. After gaining recognition as a songwriter for Acuff-Rose Music, he signed with RCA in 1990, with this song marking an early step in his recording career.

She made a memory out of me
Just a vision of the past is all you see
Like a statue of stone a part of history
Yeah, that woman made a memory out of me

Lord, I’m so low down for what I’ve done
I don’t even make a shadow when I’m walking in the sun
I hide my face, hang my chin
Just another sad story ’bout an old has been

She made a memory out of me
Just a vision of the past is all you see
Like a statue of stone a part of history
Yeah, that woman made a memory out of me

Say Lord, that baby made a memory out of me
Just a vision of the past is all you see
Like a statue of stone a part of history
Yeah, that woman made a memory out of me
