lyrics

Don't you tell me that it's alright
If I forget to call, or you forget to write
That's not a pattern I want to start

Cause if every time that we say goodbye
It becomes a little easier for you to keep from crying
That's the way you're gonna break my heart

"How could I forget you?"
That's what you always say
Just to make it easier
For you to walk away

Don't you tell me that I'm a fool
For saying I'll propose to you the day I finish school
It's been the plan from the very start

The war is lost economy is bad
And I've been missing things I didn't know I had
I can't do it all with a broken heart

"How could I forget you?"
That's what you always say
Just to make it easier
For you to walk away

Are Geezer the heaviest heavy blues band out there? Probably, but if you’re unsure, just listen to these four songs and decide for yourself. And while your eyelids get heavy from all that smoke, Borracho have the cowbell to lead you home. This is a stoner rock goldmine, folks, so bet in the van whilst you can. We got nine more of these trips to go! Kirk Gauthier
