Quit While I’m Ahead

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I won't lie and say I didn't think the good ones all were taken Since there ain't no peaches fallin' from the tree that I've been shakin' And it's solitary sleepin' in this bed that I've been makin' 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 gestures were a good far cry from grand They were awful well intended, they were all that I could stand Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead [Chorus] 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 dancin' with damnation and I'm drinkin' all alone And I am busted, broken, bent and beaten 'bout halfway to dead Well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh Lord Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead [Verse 2] Well West Texas in the mornin', little darlin' are you down Well the color of the country is your sweet-eyed 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 [Chorus] 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, broken, bent and beaten 'bout halfway to dead Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh Lord Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead [Chorus] 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, broken, bent and beaten 'bout halfway to dead Well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh Lord Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
