"If I'm Not Careful" lyrics

If I'm not careful
You might slip off my mind
I could let go
Of those unforgiving hands of time

If I quit trying
Hell, even you might even be surprised
Oh, if I'm not careful
You might slip off my mind

If I'm not mistaken
My mind just spent a minute some place else
And all it's taken
To get me past the way you felt
I could give up
And give into that ghost that always hides
If I'm not careful
You might slip off my mind

Guess it's the whiskey
That's got me second-guessing wrong from right
And I'm wondering if you miss me
And are you second-guessing your goodbye?

If I stop trying
Hell, even you might even be surprised
No, but if I'm not careful
You might slip off my mind

Like that ring there on your finger
You might slip off my mind
