Poison Red Berries

I don't think much about him no more
Seldom if ever does he cross my mind
Yesterday's gone it's better forgotten
Like the poison red berries to die on the vine

This mornin' at dawn Lord I pulled into town
Had some coffee and talked with some ole friends of mine
Laughin' at the good times they remembered
Then I remember a time

Lord I can still see the bright lights back in Dallas
As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind
I didn't suppose that I'd ever forget him
And you know it took such a long time

I don't think much about him no more
Seldom if ever does he ever cross my mind
Yesterday's gone it's better forgotten
It's like poison red berries that cling to the mind
