Knockin' Over Whiskeys Lyrics - Trouble In Mind - Hayes Carll

Hayes Carll 

Trouble In Mind 

Knockin Over Whiskeys 

I keep knockin' over whiskeys 

No one's laughing 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 

Oh babe I swear I never knew 

I'd end up in this place 

Run away little darlin' 

You don't need me any more 

I've been out here for too long 

And it ain't like it was before 

If I get back home to Huston 

I'm going to tip my hat and cry 

When I left I was a younger man 

Too proud to say goodbye 

I'm gonna wake up in the morning 

With a conscience ten feet tall 

I'm going to lay my head down awhile 

So I won't look down at all 

Run away little darlin' 

You don't need me any more 

I've been out here for too long 

And it ain't like it was before 

I used to live out on the border 

Where no one else could reach 

Now I can ask a question 

Without you givin' a speech 

You said I never cared babe 

You know that isn't true 

It's just the only thing you ask of me 

Is the one thing I can't do 

Run away little darlin' 

You don't need me any more 

I've been out here for too long 

And it ain't like it was before 

Run away little darlin' 

And leave you with a smile 

I'm knockin' over whiskeys 

And I will be for awhile
