I keep knockin over whiskeys
No ones laughin at my jokes
They got me spinnin round in circles
Like a tin can in the spokes

When i left town this mornin
With a smile upon my face
Ahh babe i swear i never knew
Id end up in this place

Chorus:
Run away little darlin
You dont need me anymore
Ive been out here for too long
It ain't like it was before

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

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

Repeat chorus
