I'd Be Ahead If I Could Quit While I'm Behind

(アルバム： BW Goes C&W - 1976)

I'd like to send this song out to my girlfriend
She's was a feisty one, let's see now

I'm sending out invitations
Gonna have me a big celebration
I'm giving up on everything I thought was mine
Thought was mine

If her love for him grows stronger
Why drag this thing out much longer?
I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind
I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind

They got most stuff here a hang onto
I don't think it's worth the changes it put me through, oh yeah
My old heart just don't need all of that, no, no
Drinking coffee, waiting, I know your love ain't returning

So I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind
I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind

I'd write a song about something real funny
If I thought everybody would laugh
I'd write a song about a whole lot of money
If I thought it could bring me some cash

I'd write a song about the trip I went on
I wish I'd never taken where you'd be
But always keep me feeling funny, girl
You got me honey and you keep on working on me

I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind
I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind
