I Lost It Lyrics
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 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
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 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
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 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 free
If I give my heart
Will you promise not to break 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

Just another song about lost love really I think. Lovely anyway, she's got such a great voice.
Yeah, when she says she lost it, can't replace it, you know she's talking about the love that most of the album's about...
A little shiver of contempt runs down my spine whenever someone automatically disregards country music. Yes, the vast majority of what is offered up as "Country" music today is instead some sort of bastardized, lowest-common-denominator country-pop that bears only a passing resemblance to art. But it is not all like that and this song by Lucinda Williams (along with many others) unquestionably redeems the genre and shows that there are still true artists working in country today.
One of the great things about this song is the ambiguity. It's not clear whether what she lost is a person she loved or the act of falling in love itself. The song suggests both possibilities. And falling in love and losing a love both are kinds of losses. Williams seems comfortable in those in-between spaces. In "Passionate Kisses" it's not clear whether it is "too much to ask" or not. Beautiful.
I agree that this song could be about love, but to me it was always about going insane. The line about blowing away especially cemented that for me, like she didn't need someone to love, just someone to keep her from totally losing it. It's a sad, heartfelt song either way.
Lucinda can write an early Willie Nelson song with the best of them! "I think I lost it Let me know if you come across it"🤠
