There'Ll Be Others

I will be a memory tomorrow
To one more lover than I am today.
She will be gone and I'll face my sorrow -
Another country song for Hank to play.

But there'll be others to lighten my load,
An' a little Jack Daniels on the side.
It ain't my first time down this lonesome road -
She won't be the last in my double wide.

So tomorrow I'll grieve an' shed my tears,
Think of the good times we shared together.
I'll remember what we built through the years -
Try not to think of the stormy weather.

Then next week when the rodeo's in town
I'll be buckin' on some flea bitten flank.
And there'll be a smile replacin' this frown -
I'll grab life an' give 'er another yank.
