Knockin' Over Whiskeys - Hayes Carll

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

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
