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
