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
