Quit While I'm Ahead

Well I wont lie and say I didn’t think the good ones

all were taken

Since there aint no peaches falling from the tree that

I've been shaking

And it's solitary sleeping in this bed that I've been

making

Well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

Well my intent was being handed I never laid a hand

And the kindness of my gesture was a good far cry from

grand

They were awful well intended, they were all that I can

stand

Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

And now darlin if I called you, could you love me like

a kid

Could you love me like you loved me way back when you

really did

Well Darlin if I called you could you just pick up the

phone

Lord, I've been dancing with damnation and I'm drinking

all alone

And I am busted broke and bent and beat and 'bout

halfway to dead

Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh Lord, well

maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

Well West Texas in the morning, little darling are you

down

Where the color of the country is your sweet eye shade

of brown

And if I told you how I felt, well you’d say boy get

out of town

Well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

Now darlin if I called you, could you love me like a

kid

Could you love me like you loved me way back when you

really did

Well Darlin if I called you would you even talk to me

When I am lit up like a star atop your favorite

Christmas tree

And I am busted broke and bent and beat and 'bout half

way to dead

Ah maybe I should quit while im ahead, oh Lord well

maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

Now darlin if I called you, could you love me like a

kid

Could you love me like you loved me way back when you

really did

Well Darlin if I called you could you just pick up the

phone

Lord, ive been dancing with damnation and I'm drinking

all alone

And I am busted broke and bent and beat and 'bout half

way to dead

Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh lord well

maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
