Well I wished I was in Austin, hmm, in the Chili Parlor Bar Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas and not carin' where you are Here I sit in Dublin, hmm, just rollin' cigarettes Holdin' back and chokin' back, the shakes with every breath
So forgive me all my anger, forgive me all my faults There's no need to forgive me for thinkin' what I thought I loved you from the git go and I'll love you till I die I loved you on the Spanish steps, the day you said goodbye
I am just a poor boy, hmm, work's my middle name If money was a reason, well I would not be the same I'll stand up and be counted, hmm, I'll face up to the truth I'll walk away from trouble, but I can't walk away from you
So forgive me all my anger, forgive me all my faults There's no need to forgive me for thinkin' what I thought I loved you from the git go and I'll love you till I die I loved you on the Spanish steps, the day you said goodbye
I have been to Fort Worth, hmm, and I have been to Spain And I have been too proud to come in out of the rain And I have seen the David, hmm, I've seen Mona Lisa too And I have heard Doc Watson play Columbus Stockade Blues
Forgive me all my anger, forgive me all my faults There's no need to forgive me for thinkin' what I thought I loved you from the git go and I'll love you till I die I loved you on the Spanish steps, the day you said goodbye
Well I wished I was in Austin, hmm, in the Chili Parlor Bar Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas and not carin' where you are.
