Forget About You


I'm gonna build a fire in the middle of July
Burn your pictures and go for a drive
Down to the river watch the ink from your love letters fade
Come back home and turn that old mattress over
Pour out the whiskey try wakin' up sober
Gonna change it all tonight, gonna do whatever it takes

Yeah, cause I've lost weight and I've lost hair
And I don't intend to ever go back there
Drinkin and a-thinkin' 'bout a love that just wasn't true
There's a good chance I'll end up insane
Without enough sense to come in from the rain
My mind might be the last thing you make me loose
But I'll forget about you

I heard that old Jones song just the other day
'bout a man who took a broken heart to his grave
But I'll be damned if a memory's gonna lay me down
I might be walkin' around with a head full of air
Actin' kinda crazy but I don't care
A heart barely beatin' but I'll still be above the ground

Yeah, cause I've lost weight and I've lost hair
And I don't intend to ever go back there
Drinkin and a-thinkin' 'bout a love that just wasn't true
There's a good chance I'll end up insane
Without enough sense to come in from the rain
My mind might be the last thing you make me loose
But I'll forget about you

Cause I've lost sleep and I've lost years
And there aint no tellin' how many tears
My mind's gonna be the last thing you make me loose
But I'll forget about, I'll forget about you
I'll forget about you
