"Knockin' Over Whiskeys" lyrics - 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

[Chorus:]
Run away little darlin
You don't 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

[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

[Chorus]
