"Sometimes She Forgets" is a song written by Steve Earle, who recorded it on his 1995 Train a Comin' album.
The highest-charting version of the song was recorded by American country music artist Travis Tritt, and was released in August 1995 as the lead-off single from his compilation album Greatest Hits: From the Beginning. It peaked at number 7 in the United States, and at number 6 in Canada.
In the liner notes from his acoustic album Train a Comin', Earle indicates that he wrote the song in 1979. At that time, he was a staff writer in Nashville, before he had a recording contract. Earle did not record the song on his first four studio albums, but an early version was included on a set of demos, Uncut Gems, in the early 1990s. Earle's management circulated the demos to other artists when Earle's career was threatened by his drug use and he had been dropped from his label.[1] This resulted in Tritt covering the song, as well as recordings of lesser-known versions by Martin Delray (1992) and Stacy Dean Campbell (1995). After getting sober in 1994, Earle recorded the song, as well as some of his other early work, on Train a Comin', released on February 28, 1995.
