| I keep knockin over whiskeys
|
| No ones laughin at my jokes
|
| They got me spinnin round in circles
|
| Like a tin can in the spokes
|
| When i left town this mornin
|
| With a smile upon my face
|
| Ahh babe i swear i never knew
|
| Id end up in this place
|
| Run away little darlin
|
| You dont need me anymore
|
| Ive been out here for too long
|
| It ain’t like it was before
|
| If i get back home to houston
|
| Im gonna tip my hat and cry
|
| When i left i was a younger man
|
| Too proud to say goodbye
|
| Im gonna wake up in the mornin
|
| With a conscience ten feet tall
|
| Im gonna lay my head down wiser
|
| Or i won’t lay down at all
|
| Repeat chorus
|
| You used to live out on the border
|
| Where no one else could reach
|
| Now i can’t ask a question
|
| Without you givin a speech
|
| You said, i never cared
|
| Babe you know that isnt true
|
| Its just the only thing you asked of me
|
| Was the one thing i can’t do
|
| Repeat chorus |
