Lyrics Hayes Carll

Hayes Carll

Knockin' Over Whiskeys

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

Ah babe I swear I never knew

I'd end up in this place

Run away little darlin'

You don't need me anymore

I've been out here for too long

It ain't like it was before

If I get back home to Houston

I'm gonna tip my hat and cry

When I left I was a younger man

Too proud to say goodbye

I'm gonna wake up in the mornin'

With a conscience ten feet tall

I'm gonna lay my head down wiser

Or I won't lay down at all

Run away little darlin'

You don't need me anymore

I've been out here for too long

It ain't like it was before

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 isn't true

Its just the only thing you asked of me

Was the one thing I can't do

Run away little darlin'

You don't need me anymore

I've been out here for too long

It ain't like it was before
