Content

The narrator is having a hard time forgetting a lost love. He describes what he can do to get her memory "out of his bones" including wishing he had amnesia.

Critical reception

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling his vocal performance "powerful" and saying that the production is "full but not overblown." She goes on to say that the record should "remind programmers that the warmth and feeling in Travis' country baritone are among the format's most precious treasures."[1]
