Dublin Blues

(album: GUY - 2019)

I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlor Bar
Drinking Mad Dog Margaritas
And not caring where you are
But here I sit in Dublin
Just rolling cigarettes
Holding back and choking back
The shakes with every breath

So forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinking what I thought
I loved you from the get go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish Steps
The day you said goodbye

I am just a poor boy
Work's my middle name
If money was a reason
Then I would not be the same
I'll stand up and be counted
I'll face up to the truth
I'll walk away from trouble
But I can't walk away from you

Forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinking what I thought
I loved you from the get go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish Steps
The day you said goodbye

I have been to Fort Worth
I have been to Spain
I have been too proud
To come in out of the rain
I have seen the David, mmm
I've seen the Mona Lisa too
I have heard Doc Watson
Play Columbus Stockade Blues

Forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinking what I thought
I loved you from the get go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish Steps
The day you said goodbye

I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlor Bar
Drinking Mad Dog Margaritas
And not caring where you are
