A Thousand Times a Day

George Jones · Dispatches 1990-99: A Critical Collection [Raven] [2005]

(Gary Burr - Gary Nicholson)



I gave up cigarettes,

haven't had to light one yet.

It's been a year sense I stopped.

Same goes for alcohol.

I don't touch the stuff at all.

I used to drink 'till I dropped.



Chorus:

But those were tough this is easy,

and it feels so good to say.

Forgetting you is not that hard to do

for I've done it a thousand times a day.

Oh I've done it a thousand times a day.



Friends said it would take some time

to get you off my mind.

They thought I'd never let you go.

But, I guess I've proved them wrong.

One more bad habit gone.

Just like the whisky and the smokes.



Chorus:

But those were tough this is easy,

and I'm all right I'm ok.

Forgetting you is not that hard to do

for I've done it a thousand times a day.



I've given you up for good,

just like I said I would.

Oh the night you walked away.



Forgetting you is not that hard to do

for I've done it a thousand times a day.

Oh I've done it a thousand times a day...
