Rolled into town about 7pm lord I thought this day was never gonna end
Pulled into a Honkey Tonk Bar around the bend
They Serve em up strong ‘round here she said,
I could feel a cold stare on the back of my head
I turned around to a beer from my new friend
(Chorus) D-A-G-E.....A
Said I’m gonna have fun tonight
Pretty Mamma’s gonna make me feel aright
I got something to help me make it through
and Forget About You!!
Well I rolled on down to Memphis town, parked the rig, bought a bottle of CROWN
Hopin I could drink your memory off my mind
Had the Mississippi River to my back, my face in the wind and my feet on the tracks
Gonna find a country girl to help me to unwind
Said I’m gonna have fun tonight
Pretty Mama’s gonna make me feel alright
I got someone to help me make it through
and Forget About You, Forget About You
(Solo)
I rolled all across this land, from Laredo up to Michigan
Georgia, California to Oregon
Well I drove that rig to pay the rent , nearly killed myself for the money you spent
Darlin our love has set just like the Sun
Said I’m gonna have fun tonight
Pretty Mama’s gonna make me feel alright
I got someone to help me make it through.....
Said I’m gonna have fun tonight
Pretty Mama’s gonna make me feel alight
I got something to help me make it through
and Forget about You. Forget about you. Forget about you
Forget about You......
