Knockin' Over Whiskeys

(альбом: Trouble In Mind - 2008)

I keep knocking over whiskeys
No one's laughing at my jokes
They got me spinning round in circles
Like a tin can in the spokes

When I left town this morning
With a smile upon my face
Ah babe, I swear I never knew
I'd end up in this place

Run away little darling
You don't need me anymore
I've been out here for too long
It ain't like it was before

If I get back home to Houston
I'm gonna tip my hat and cry
When I left I was a younger man
Too proud to say goodbye
I'm gonna wake up in the morning
With a conscience ten feet tall
I'm gonna lay my head down wiser
Or I won't lay down at all

You used to live out on the border
Where no one else could reach
Now I can't ask a question
Without you giving a speech
You said, I never cared
Babe, you know that isn't true
Its just the only thing you asked of me
Was the one thing I can't do
