I Finally Gave Her Enough Rope To Hang Lyrics - Buck Owens

I never told her the what not to do's I'm just not tyin' down kind 

I've thought I could hold her much closer to me by giving her freedom a mind 

I figured someday that she would outgrow her flare for the flirtin' and flinging 

I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she's still out there swinging 

I never tried into the where's and the why's no matter what time she came in 

While I thought she was out playin' bridge with the girls 

She was out playin' games with the men 

Too late I discovered she had too much slack like a fool to a dream I'm still clinging 

I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she's still out there swinging 

[ guitar ] 

Now here I sit with the why do I do's while she's running round wild and free 

I tried to give her a mind of her own but she couldn't keep it on me 

Now just like a fool I still sit here at home and wait by a phone that's my bringing 

I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she's still out there swinging 

I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she's still out there swinging
