A Thousand Times a Day

Patty Loveless · The Trouble With the Truth [1996]

(Gary Burr - Gary Nicholson)



I gave up cigarettes, haven't had to light one yet

It's been a year since I stopped

Same goes for alcohol, I don't touch the stuff at all

I used to drink till I dropped.



But days 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

Some said I'd never let you go

But I guess I've proved them wrong one more bad habit gone

Just like the whiskey and the smokes.



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.



--- Instumental ---



I've given you up for good just like I said I would

Oh, the night you walked away.



Forgetting you is not 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...
