How Soon We Forget

Every time I think I got it all figured out

Then I draw a blank and my whole world crashes down

So many people have got it worse than me

But that could change tomorrow, ain't no guarantee

How soon we forget to count every blessing

If you think you got it bad, take a look around

How soon we forget, life is one big lesson

Still we make the same mistakes time and time again

And how soon we forget

Got a friend of mine who says he's run all out of luck

But he'll be fine 'cause he just ain't drunk enough

The world is empty when you're slammin' those shots down

How can you be happy, son when the Devil's hangin' 'round?

How soon we forget to count every blessing

If you think you got it bad, take a look around

How soon we forget, life is one big lesson

Still we make the same mistakes time and time again

How soon we forget, how soon we forget

Just remember, thank God you're here today

If you got the will you can find a way, oh

How soon we forget, oh baby, oh

How soon we forget to count every blessing

If you think you got it bad, take a look around

How soon we forget, life is one big lesson

Still we make the same mistakes time and time again

Well, there's a message to this madness here my friend

Will we ever learn before the story ends?

Soon we all forget, how soon we forget

Soon we forget, oh

Well, take a look around and you will see

Soon we all forget, oh, oh

So many people have got it worse than me

Oh, can't you see how soon we all forget?
