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...
