Somewhere in the darkness of this 'ol barroom
The jukebox in the corner starts to play
Bottle pours another shot of freedom
There's but a thought of how I let you slip away
It's been years now since the day you packed and left me
Sometimes I think about the day we met
I try my best to keep my heart from crying
But tonight, I'm beginning to forget
To forget about the time we spent together
To forget about the promises we made
I've torn up all the honky tonks, but I haven't forgot you yet
But tonight, I'm beginning to forget
Ambitions and dreams, they used to have no boundaries
And the future plans we shared were always clear
I've learned that in this world some things don't matter
Like the life love I had when you were here
I hear your name in a lot of conversations
From the sounds of things your life has been set
You've found yourself in a world of happy endings
And I know that's a feeling that I won't get
To forget about the time we spent together
To forget about the promises we made
I've torn up all the honky tonks, but I haven't forgot you yet
But tonight, I'm beginning to forget
But tonight, I'm beginning to forget
