Livin’ beyond my means, don’t know how I’m gonna get by
|
Livin’ beyond my means, don’t ya know a man’s got to try
|
Don’t know how it started, all I know is it’s got to end
|
I’ve got a noose around my neck and I don’t know why
|
|
I followed you to Detroit City then down to New Orleans
|
Trail after trail with nothing but a bottle of too old gin
|
Don’t know where you lead me all I know is I’ve got to go
|
Gotta find you babe, before I’m too old
|
|
Livin’ beyond my means
|
With all these loving you things
|
Don’t know how I’ll get by
|
Lord help me try
|
|
Do you remember that night in Dallas when you stole my heart
|
I didn’t put up a fight just to find me one more start
|
Now it’s taken me out of my home and put me out on the street
|
This loving you thing has got me beat
|
|
I called your name in Boston where I thought that you might be
|
On my way back to Texas I took a long look down in Tennessee
|
This wild turkey chase, well it’s got the best of me
|
I guess it’s bets to quit when you’re behind
|
