[Verse 1]
I could've been a better man
But in my time I don't know where or when
I couldn't see that you would leave
Take with you all the good in me
When we began you took my hand
And you led me on like a charlatan
[Refrain]
Forget me not when your world turns back toward the blue
[Verse 2]
I couldn't eat I couldn't sleep
I lived on cocaine and whiskey neat
You never called or cared at all
You told the town that our love was false
And I remain your ball and chain
Till I get swept up in a hurricane
[Refrain]
Forget me not when your world turns back toward the blue
[Verse 3]
Fare thee well oh Southern Belle
I loved you more than words can tell
Take your time, oh I'll be fine
Just keep my name on your mind
[Refrain]
Forget me not when your world turns back toward the blue
