Wish I Hadn't Stayed So Long |
| Shootin' stars and whiskey bottles |
| All scattered across the yard |
| I’d-a stayed back home in houston |
| If I’d known it be this hard |
| Oh but as it is I’m busted |
| I broke down across the bay |
| And I might not make December |
| If we keep carrying on this way |
| Pretty girls and deep depressions |
| Keep falling from the sky |
| I got all the time in heaven |
| But no sense to wonder why |
| And the nights have all gone crazy |
| And the bars have all shut down |
| One day I swear I’ll blow it all |
| Pack up and leave this town |
| And sometimes I get so tired |
| Of telling right from wrong |
| Hey I’m glad I came |
| Just wish I hadn’t stayed so long |
| Here I am in music city |
| Long nights and neon signs |
| And I can’t seem to remember |
| What I came so far to find |
| Police cars and paper money |
| Motel rooms and cigarettes |
| Here to tell you ain’t nothin' |
| Just in case you might forget |
| I can hear the country music |
| In the window up above |
| ? |
| do it for the money |
| Do it, do it for the love |
| ? |
| and stolen pistols |
| Seemed all that comes my way |
| I’m gonna burn down all my bridges |
| Find a car and drive away |
| And sometimes I can’t believe |
| I did all that for a song |
| Hey I’m glad I came |
| Just wish I hadn’t stayed so long |
| We could make Louisiana |
| In two hours time |
| We could pull off of the highway |
| By the big casino sign |
| And we could take up all our wishes |
| And bet 'em all on black |
| Hit the lights of Mississippi |
| With the Southland at our backs |
| And it’s always been the same |
| Down every road I’ve come |
| Hey I’m glad I came |
| Just wish I hadn’t stayed so long |
