TONIGHT
written by john kringstad
well it could be a bottle of Cuervo
it might be a few shots of old Jim Beam
it might be Jack Daniels or Bicardi
I don't care, just as long as I'm set free
'cause tonight I forget about the heartache
yes, tonight I won't feel the pain
and tonight I'll out-drink the sorrow
maybe tonight I just might forget her name
she cried and said she could not hold on
now the love I thought we shared is dead and gone
she's a thousand miles __ in someone else's life
while I'm trying to heal those scars from fate's jagged knife
so tonight I forget about the heartache
yes, tonight I won't feel the pain
and tonight I'll out-drink the sorrow
maybe tonight I just might forget her name
I thought by now I'd be with someone new
it takes time to find a heart that is true
at least I have one lesson, though hard learned
most fools that play with fire end up getting burned
so tonight I forget about the heartache
yes, tonight I won't feel the pain
and tonight I'll out-drink the sorrow
maybe tonight I just might forget her name
maybe tonight I just might forget her name
