You Oughta Know Me By Now

(album: Onward - 2019)

Here we are standing in the morning light
No good way to say goodbye
Anyway, I've got too many miles to make
So I ain't even gonna try

I sure am sorry about your broken heart
Wish I could help ya out somehow
Sure didn't mean to do you wrong
But you oughta know me by now

There ain't a dusty road in Texas
This old boy ain't traveled down
Guess you've been dreaming 'bout a bunch of kids
A picket fence in some small town

Hey, I was born the rambling kind
Home sweet home I've never found
Wish I could stay and love you right
But you oughta know me by now

You outta know me by now, babe
Find a way to understand
I know your mama tried to warn you, honey
About the kind of man I am
I didn't mean to let you down
But you oughta know me by now

So let's just drink a little coffee
I'll help you hang your sheets out in the wind
Don't you know, sweetheart, the chances are
I'll come blowing through again

I'll load up that old guitar of mine
Hit the highway headed south
Who knows when I'll turn up
You oughta know me by now

You oughta know me by now, babe
Find a way to understand
I know your mama tried to warn you, honey
About the kind of man I am
I didn't mean to let you down
But you oughta know me by now
You oughta know me by now
You oughta know me by now
