Paragraph Lyric
Richard BryantI'd need a thousand reasonsTo pack my trunk and leave this town behindAnd since that woman put a man between usI'm up to reason number nine hundred and ninety-nineI know this town from way backMy friends are here. I know their children's namesBut circumstance is piling high around meThat gives me cause to think I'm in a losing gameReasons one through twenty tell me that work here is scarceTwenty-one through thirty deal with bad business affairsThirty-one through nine hundred and ninety-nineConcern the above mentioned woman and a former friend of mineOne more reason at the mostJust one more reason and I'm ghostOne more reason and I'm goneShe was my heart's desireMy blood would know whenever she came nearBut I am a man of suspicious natureThey sent me a card from Kansas that served to confirm all my worst fearsSomebody drop their hat and I'll be on my waySomebody look at me funny and I will not stayThe heart has gone out of this town of mineMy friends are sympathetic but I'm feeling much malignedOne more reason at the mostJust one more reason and I'm ghostOne more reason and I'm gone
