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
Chorus:
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 that last thing you make me lose
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 dammed
if a memory's gonna lay me down
i might be walkin' around with a head full of air
acting kind of crazy but i don't care
a heart barely beatin'
but i'm still above the ground
(repeat chorus)
Cause i've lost sleep and i've lost years
and there ain't no tellin' how many tears
my mind's gonna be the last thing
you make me lose
but i'll forget about, i'll forget about you
i'll forget about you
