Lyrics The Night He Can't Remember - Trace Adkins

The Night He Can't Remember

He lost his job that mornin', stopped off, and bought a fifth of pride
A reality eraser, a little taste, to help face her that night
He broke his same old promise, when he showed up, with whiskey on his breath
That night he can’t remember, the one that she can’t forget
Now he’s been clean and sober, since twenty-three October '95
His drinkin' days are over, but there’s that one she can’t get off her mind
He tries to apologize, but can’t recall and don’t realize, she won’t forgive
whatever he said
That night he can’t remember, the one that she can’t forget
Well, she never has remarried, 'cause she never has stopped carrying the pain
It serves as a reminder, that the man she left behind her just couldn’t change
But if she only knew, she probably saved his life the night she left
That night he can’t remember, the one that she just can’t forget
Now he’s been clean and sober, since twenty-three October '95
His drinkin' days are over, but there’s that one she can’t get off her mind
He tries to apologize, but can’t recall and don’t realize, she won’t forgive
whatever he said
That night he can’t remember, the one…
Oh, that night he can’t remember, the one that she can’t forget
That night he can’t remember
Is the one she can’t forget
