The Worst Thing

(album: Steak Night At The Prairie Rose - 2018)

The El Dorado in south Santa Fe
We played at midnight and I'd been drinking all day
Words I usually remember, I forgot every one
Is that the worst thing that I've ever done?

When I met you, you were with my best friend
I got to thinking about what might have been
So I took my chances and we danced to that song
Is that the worst thing that I've ever done?

I've begged and I've cheated, I've lied and I've stole
I've taken advantage of a heart made of gold
I can't count the times that I've done you wrong
But what's the worst thing that I've ever done?

On our first trip to old Mexico
I spoke a language that I didn't know
Mixing silver tequila with 151
Is that the worst thing that I've ever done?

It seems lately I've lost all control
I guess I'm strung out on rock and roll
And I stole your record 'cause I love that song
Is that the worst thing that I've ever done?

I've begged and I've cheated, I've lied and I've stole
I've taken advantage of a heart made of gold
I can't count the times that I've done you wrong
But what's the worst thing that I've ever done?

I've begged and I've cheated, and you took the blame
I guess your heart of gold and mine ain't the same
You gave me the reins and I strung you along
Is that the worst thing that I've ever done?
What's the worst thing that I've ever done?
