There's a place of pine bluff, prairie fires
Where the sun don't ever set
And you go there to be forgotten
Or to forget
You know I left my heart there
I left it in the cold hard sand
I left it in the charge and care of
A black-hatted man
If I forget your name
If I forget your face
I won't forget your colours
I won't make that same mistake
First chance, third chance, and then
Shame on me
You either learn to spend your life
Being the hand or the bite, and I
I don't wanna lose either
I don't regret my leaving
I just regret it took so long
To understand I caught myself
A red-handed man
If I forget your name
If I forget your face
I won't forget your colours
I won't make that same mistake
You got a temper like whiplash
You're meaner than a cut snake
And if the devil said he never knew a liar worse than you
Well I
I tell you, I believe him
But I know your history
I know your daddy was a hard man
I'm not mad
Anymore
I'm not mad
So I'll forget your name
And I'll forget your face
I won't forget your colours
I won't make that same mistake
If I forget but you remember
Just sing me quiet September nights
The winds'll start to change and it looks
Like we're stuck
This way
La la la laa la
La la lala la
La la la la laa la la
La la la la
La la la laa la
La la lala la
La la la la laa la la
La la la la
