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 the 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 damned 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'll still be above 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
