Black Oak Arkansas – Forgive and Forget lyrics

I am only a musician, Lord,
I never said I came to save your world,
I sure ain't no messiah, Lord,
Too many hurdles I have yet to hurl,
I sometimes help my brothers, Lord,
You know how much I help my sisters too,
But it's hard to turn the other cheek,
When certain people treat you like they do,

Yeah!
But I'm tryin' my best,
Doin' the best that I can,
One day at a time, I make my living,
They say forgive and forget,
To reach the promised land,
But I never forget, and I ain't that forgiving...

I remember every favor,
I remember every debt I have incurred,
The face of every friend I've made,
The voice of every enemy I've heard,

But I'm tryin' my best,
Doin' the best that I can,
One day at a time, I make my living,
They say forgive and forget,
To reach the promised land,
But I never forget, and I ain't that forgiving...

I am only a musician, Lord,
I never said I came to save the world,
You know I'm no messiah, Lord,
Too many hurdles I have yet to hurl,

But I'm tryin' my best,
Doin' the best that I can,
One day at a time, I make my living,
They say forgive and forget,
To reach the promised land,
But I never forget, I ain't forgiving,

Yes, I'm tryin' my best,
Doin' the best that I can,
One day at a time, I make my living,
They say forgive and forget,
To reach the promised land,
But I never forget, and I ain't that forgiving...

Tryin' my best,
Doin' the best that I can,
One day at a time, I make my living,
They say forgive and forget,
To reach the promised land,
But I never forget (fade out)
