I CAN'T GET YOU OFF MY MIND
(Hank Williams)
Hank Williams - 1947
Patty Loveless - 1987
Well I can't get you off of my mind
When I try I'm just wasting my time
Well I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind
Didn't think you would leave me behind
But I guess you're the two-timin' kind
Do you think that it's smart to jump from heart to heart
But I can't get you off of my mind
Well I can't get you off of my mind
When I try I'm just wasting my time
Well I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind
(Instrumental Break)
You believe that a true love is blind
So you fool every new love you find
You've got stars in your eyes, but they can't hide the lies
No, I can't get you off of my mind
Well I can't get you off of my mind
When I try I'm just wasting my time
Well I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind
Well I can't get you off of my mind
When I try I'm just wasting my time
Well I've tried and I've tried and all night long I've cried
But I can't, no I can't
Well I've tried and I've tried
But I can't get you off of my mind
