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
|
I'd end up in this place
|
|
Chorus:
|
Run away little darlin
|
You don't need me anymore
|
I've been out here for too long
|
It aint like it was before
|
If I get back home to houston
|
I'm gonna tip my hat and cry
|
When I left I was a younger man
|
Too proud to say goodbye
|
I'm gonna wake up in the mornin
|
With a conscience ten feet tall
|
I'm gonna lay my head down wiser
|
Or I wont 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 isn't true
|
It's just the only thing you asked of me
|
Was the one thing I can't do
|
