  • I think I lost it
    Let me know if you come across it
    Let me know if I let it fall
    Along a back road somewhere

    Money can't replace it
    No memory can erase it
    And I know I'm never gonna find
    Another one to compare

    Give me some love to fill me up
    Give me some time give me some stuff
    Give me a sign give me some kind of reason
    Are you heavy enough to make me stay
    I feel like I might blow away
    I thought I was in heaven
    But I was only dreaming

    I think I lost it
    Let me know if you come across it
    Let me know if I let it fall
    Along a back road somewhere

    Money can't replace it
    No memory can erase it
    And I know I'm never gonna find
    Another one to compare

    I just wanna live the life I please
    I don't want no enemies
    I don't want nothing if I have to fake it
    Never take nothing don't belong to me

    Everything's paid for nothing is free
    If I give my heart
    Will you promise not to break it

    I think I lost it
    Let me know if you come across it
    Let me know if I let it fall
    Along a back road somewhere

    Money can't replace it
    No memory can erase it
    And I know I'm never gonna find
    Another one to compare

    Money can't replace it
    No memory can erase it
    And I know I'm never gonna find
    Another one to compare Writer/s: Lucinda Gayle Williams

  • Dmax from LsuIn the ladder 70s, the “I found it“ bumper stickers were popular. I bought a few that said “I lost it“ as a joke and to sell for a few pennies. Lucinda says she saw those bumper stickers and it was the genesis for this song.
