Lyrics
The Night I Can't Remember
I was workin on an oil rig - in eastern Texas state
Twenty seven long days - I needed me a break
I walked into a icehouse - and lay my money down
A country band was playin - so I thought I'd stick around
I was drinkin bean and longnecks - I was thirsty as can be
It wasn't long, a pretty girl -- walked right up to me
We danced an drank, an drank an danced -I started gettin blind
Was the last thing I remember - that's when I lost my mind
chorus
It was the night, I can't, remember - the night, I met my wife
Between, the sheets, in Texas - I'll be payin, all my life
lead
Five kids later, and I'm mortgaged - right up to the max
Now I wonder, what went on - when I keep lookin back
Was it all the alcohol - or just her pretty face
I gave up all my freedom - here's all I got to say
chorus
It was the night, I can't remember - the night, I met my wife
Between, the sheets, in Texas - I'll be payin, all my life
I stained, the sheets, in Texas - I'll be payin, all my life
