I ain't never seen the big time. Honey that's okay with me. I ain't never seen the big time. Honey that's okay with me. . Just a sittin' on this front porch.
That's okay. It's alright. No, really everything is cool. This is just. The way I look. When I'm feeling like a fool. . Teardrops falling jealous. Drowning in them's just as well as.
If you ever get south of Cincinnati, down where the dogwood trees grow. If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon, to the home you left so long ago. If you ever get south of the Ohio River, down where Dixieland begins.
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason. That she's not here with me tonight. And I know you were probably just acting polite. You'll be sorry you ever asked why..
(d. yoakam). . Chorus:. If you ever get south of Cincinnati down where the dogwood trees grow. If you ever get south of the Mason-Dixon to the home you left so long ago.
Since I started drinkin' again. Since I started drinkin' again (Hey girl). I ain't shed one lousy tear over you. Since I started drinkin' again. . Well I know that the neighbours are all a-talkin'.
Since I started drinkin' again. Since I started drinkin' again (Hey girl). I ain't shed one lousy tear over you. Since I started drinkin' again. . Well I know that the neighbours are all a-talkin'.
I'm just the same fool, the old fool. The one fool, that you won't fool no more. . 'least not the way that you fooled. The last fool you fooled before.
There should be music. Sad, sad music. But this silence that you left. Is all that I have. . I must have missed a couple days. Or just forgotten. What went wrong or where it all.
Yeah hang on a second. Yeah, hang on the to the rhythm, buddy. . Please, please baby, baby come back home. I's so cold and dark here all alone. If you come back I promise I'll be good.
Hey girl, hey girl. You warned me to go. But girl, but girl. Little did I know. All the things you told me. About what lays in store. Would only make me want you more.
One more night and I know. That I'll be over you. One more night and I know. That the worst is through. And if I can make this heart. Just believe it too.
My friends tried to tell me. You were steppin' around. But I wouldn't hear it, no I. I shut them all down. But now I'm a thinkin'. You've made a fool out of me.
The clock in your pocket keeps tickin'. But that don't get prayed to by me. I threw away all I was given. Just so that I could be free. . I've got no future in sight.
Everywhere you go each day. I will be near you, Oh and dear you. Don't even have to say much for me to hear you. Because it's clear you. Have a very simple way to keep me near you.
I've seen 'em watch you and. Make plans what they'll do when. Someday you are no longer mine. . I've heard 'em carry on about. How when I'm finally gone they're.

[Spoken]. "Ah, this is just something I worked up.. I'll do it for you.. Maybe you like it, maybe you don't". . Hey girl, hey girl. You warned me to go.
Baby, I couldn't hide. No matter how hard I tried. Was foolish to have begun. To believe I'd ever outrun. . And honey, I had no call. To try and escape at all.
Where did I go wrong. You know I've never had a clue. I must have just been born no good. 'Cause bad's the best that I can do. . Was it just my fate in life.
