Dublin Blues Lyrics - Dublin Blues - Guy Clark

I wish I was in Austin 

In a chilly parlor bar 

Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas 

And not carin' where you are 

But here I sit in Dublin 

Just rollin' cigarettes 

Holdin' back and chokin' back 

The shakes with every breath 

Forgive me all my anger 

Forgive me all my faults 

There's no need to forgive me 

For thinkin' what I thought 

I loved you from the git go 

I'll love you till I die 

I loved you on the Spanish steps 

The day you said goodbye 

I am just a poor boy 

Work's my middle name 

If money was a reason 

I would not be the same 

I'll stand up and be counted 

I'll face up to the truth 

I'll walk away from trouble 

But I can't walk away from you 

Forgive me all my anger 

Forgive me all my faults 

There's no need to forgive me 

For thinkin' what I thought 

I loved you from the git go 

I'll love you till I die 

I loved you on the Spanish steps 

The day you said goodbye 

I have been to Fort Worth 

I have been to Spain 

I have been to proud 

To come in out of the rain 

I have seen the David 

I've seen the Mona Lisa too 

I have heard Doc Watson 

Play Columbus Stockade Blues 

Forgive me all my anger 

Forgive me all my faults 

There's no need to forgive me 

For thinkin' what I thought 

I loved you from the git go 

I'll love you till I die 

I loved you on the Spanish steps 

The day you said goodbye 

I wish I was in Austin 

In a chilly parlour bar 

Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas 

And not carin' where you are
