I Forget You Every Day

Chris Whitley


Waiting for to be confessed 
On the floor and all undressed 
You can tell me go 
Tell me I could stay 
But I'll forget you either way 
Remember when the house come down 
And that dirty romance all around 
I believe every word you say 
But I forget you every day 
When I'm laying on top of that woman 
Kind of thing, child, could make me crawl 
I mean skin and all 
Out on the edge of some canyon 
Where I just forget and you can't recall 
Now you can't recall 
Mama cry and Daddy moan 
Starving in some trailer home 
Want to burn it down 
Burn it where you lay 
While I forget you every day 
While I forget you every day
