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
(Chorus)
Now he's been clean and sober
Since twenty-three October ninety-five
His drinking days are over but there's
That on 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 carryin' the pain
It serves as a reminder that the man she left
Behind her just couldn't change
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
That night he can't temember is
the one she can't forget
