I stay out late most every night until closing time

Tryin' to find a way to drink your mem'ry off my mind

And even if it goes just right, I'd never make a bet

But sometimes I get lucky and forget.



Chorus:

Sometimes I can close my eyes and you're not waiting there

Constantly reminding me how much you used to care

And losing you is one thing I guess I'll always regret

But sometimes I get lucky and forget.



--- Instrumental ---



Sweet Rose' and burgundy just lead to scotch and rye

At times it hurts me so much I just hang my head and cry

No, it ain't been easy for me, I'm not over you yet

But sometimes I get lucky and forget.



Chorus:

Sometimes I can close my eyes and you're not waiting there

Constantly reminding me how much you used to care

And losing you is one thing I guess I'll always regret

But sometimes I get lucky and forget.



Sometimes I get lucky and forget...
