I Know I'll Get Over You

Listen to Song

I Know I'll Get Over You Soon

The summer is gone and the weather's turned cold,

and I've noticed the signs of a man growin' old...

Lotsa gray hair and wrinkles and a might-slower pace,

but it always was spring, with your sweet cowgirl face.

You said that you loved me, but didn't belong,

with me, singin' the chorus, you, a verse of the song...

that the love was all right, but the timin' was wrong,

and you knew it was time to be movin' along.

Chorus: Well, I'll cry for a while, like a forsaken child,

and ride empty nights, with the man in the moon,

see your face in the clouds, over each lonely mile,

but I know I'll get over you soon.

Well, I shoulda known that a rangy ol' bull

don't belong with no heifer, that's fresh outa school.

You were thinkin' of babies; I was thinkin' a friend,

to love and be with me, clear through to the end.

But love, with bad timin's, turned out just a curse.

While I sang the chorus, you were on the first verse.

And though you made vows for the better or worse,

I can see you were right. It was wrong, from the first.

Chorus: Well, I'll cry for a while, like a forsaken child,

and ride empty nights, with the man in the moon,

see your face in the clouds, over each lonely mile,

but I know I'll get over you soon.
