A COUPLE OF HOURS I sit alone right by the phone But I know you’ll never call It's a long, long way from the top of the sky But your goodbye made me take the fall Chorus I need a couple of hours out of my mind My broken-down heart needs a break I try to recover from love that's over But the loss of all losses makes everything ache For most of the hours, I don't have the power To get my head to unwind But I take a cold one and mix it with lonesome And a couple of hours, you’re out of my mind. If I could forget that we ever met I'd find a new love in time But I'll go on hurting' till death pulls the curtain With a couple of hours out of my mind Repeat Chorus Tag For a couple of hours, I’m out of my mind Yes, a couple of hours, you’re out of my mind.
