Hayes Carll - Wish I Hadn't Stayed So Long lyrics

Shootin' stars and whiskey bottles all scattered across the yard I'd-a stayed back home in houston If I'd known it be this hard Oh but as it is I'm busted I broke down across the bay And I might not make December If we keep carrying on this way Pretty girls and deep depressions keep falling from the sky I got all the time in heaven but no sense to wonder why And the nights have all gone crazy and the bars have all shut down One day I swear I'll blow it all pack up and leave this town And sometimes I get so tired of telling right from wrong Hey i'm glad I came Just wish I hadn't stayed so long Here I am in music city long nights and neon signs And I can't seem to remember what I came so far to find Police cars and paper money Motel rooms and cigarettes Here to tell you ain't nothin' just in case you might forget I can hear the country music in the window up above ? do it for the money do it, do it for the love ?? and stolen pistols seemed all that comes my way I'm gonna burn down all my bridges find a car and drive away And sometimes I can't believe I did all that for a song Hey i'm glad I came Just wish I hadn't stayed so long We could make Louisiana in two hours time We could pull off of the highway by the big casino sign And we could take up all our wishes and bet 'em all on black Hit the lights of Mississippi with the Southland at our backs And it's always been the same Down every road I've come Hey I'm glad I came Just wish I hadn't stayed so long
