Dublin Blues

(album: Dublin Blues - 1995)

I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlour 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

[Chorus]
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 git 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
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

I have been to Fort Worth
I have been to Spain
I have been to proud
To come in out of the rain

I have seen the David
I've seen the Mona Lisa too
I have heard Doc Watson
Play Columbus Stockade Blues

[Chorus]

[Repeat 1st half of verse 1]
