Lynyrd Skynyrd - How Soon We Forget lyrics

(johnny van zant -- robert white johnson -- donnie van zant -- pat buchanan) 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 (chorus) How soon we forget To count every blessing If you think you got it bad take a look around How soon we forget That life is one big lesson Still we make the same mistakes time and time again How soon we forget Got a freind 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 That 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 How soon we forget... oh, baby How soon we forget To count every blessing If you think you got it bad take a look around How soon we forget That life is one big lesson Still we make the same mistakes time and time again There's a message to this madness here my freind Will we ever learn before the story ends Soon we all forget How soon we forget Soon we forget.. ooh Take a look around and you will see Soon we all forget... oh So many people have got it worse than me Oh.. can't you see How soon we all forget
