i'm gonna drive on out

to the river tonight

find a quiet spot

turn on my parking lights

i'm gonna drink some beers

and try to catch a buzz

turn my radio up

and forget about us



i'm gonna lay me down

on the hood of this car

make another wish

upon a falling star

i'm gonna think again

about the way it was

i'm gonna close my eyes

and forget about us



chorus:

i know it won't be easy

but i've got a plan

to just let my memory

let go of your hand

i'm gonna miss your touch

but i know i must

forget about us



and when the morning sun

burns across my face

i'll put my shirt back on

get up and walk away

i'm gonna climb my frame

onto a greyhound bus

take a little blue pill

and forget about us



chorus



by the time i get to phoenix

i won't know your name,

those soft green eyes,

your warm skin

and the way you say good mornin'

i'll be alright
