Sittin' in this ol' honky tonk in Tulsa
|
Tryin' to drink her memory of my mind
|
If she only knew how much i loved her
|
She would be here by my side
|
It seems i spend a lot of time talkin' to myself
|
I even count the shadows on my wall
|
I guess there's a lesson to be learned in this
|
Never get so high that you can't take a fall
|
|
[chorus:]
|
Now folks think i'm going crazy
|
Just because i've lost my mind
|
What will it take to ever save me
|
If i can leave the past behind
|
|
I wonder what she's doin' back in Tennessee
|
And do i even cross her mind
|
She's probably out with all of her old friends
|
Slippin' and toastin' on champagne and wine
|
Do you think that she ever speaks of me
|
Or do you think She even gives a damn
|
I know she would learn a lesson from all of this
|
If what goes up, must come down
|
|
[repeat chorus]
|
|
What will it take to ever save me
|
If i could leave the past behind
|
If i could leave the past behind
|
Folks think i'm going crazy
|
What's it gonna take to eer save me
|
If i could leave the past behind
|
