I Think I Forgot

skies have brightened since the early rain

and down in chicago it's a first down

atlanta in front of carolina

they blow their whistles and sound like birds

it's been a long afternoon

he feels like he's open for the first time

i been asleep since i can remember

and while i was out it got so cold

i think i have lost

something i knew so well

i think i forgot

where i came from

when she left i was not so concerned

with her absence, but rather i feared

in the sOuLs of her sHoEs,

all the little rubber ridges

:the mud she'd track in when she returned

to be honest, i forgot she was gone

like so many white rooms erase the bourbon

but tonight after winds so fast i spun

seeing is believing and she's back home

i think i have lost

something i loved so dear

i think i forgot

where i came from

One Shot, Two Shots,..,Three, Four Five--

...well it's cold out here, we gotta' do Somethin' to stay alive,

One Shot, Two Shots,..,Three, Four Five--

...an' i'm talkin' in my sleep

i think i have lost

something i knew so well

i think i forgot

where i came from
