KNOCKIN OVER WHISKEYS - HAYES CARLL
I KEEP K[G]NOCKIN OVER WHISKEYS
[D]NO ONES LAUGHIN AT MY JOKES
THEY GOT ME SPINNIN ROUND IN CIRCLES
LIKE A [C]TIN CAN IN THE [G]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 A[Am]WAY LITTLE DARLIN
YOU DONT NEED ME [G]ANYMORE
IVE [D]BEEN OUT HERE FOR T[G]OO LONG
IT AINT LI[C]KE IT [D]WAS BEF[G]ORE
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 WONT LAY DOWN AT ALL
REPEAT CHORUS
YOU USED TO LIVE OUT ON THE BORDER
WHERE NO ONE ELSE COULD REACH
NOW I CANT 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 CANT DO
REPEAT CHORUS
I KEEP K[G]NOCKIN OVER WHISKEYS
[D]NO ONES LAUGHIN AT MY JOKES
THEY GOT ME SPINNIN ROUND IN CIRCLES
LIKE A [C]TIN CAN IN THE [G]SPOKES
WHEN I LEFT TOWN THIS MORNIN
WITH A SMILE UPON MY FACE
