Quit While I'm Ahead

verse 1 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 *Instrumental break* verse 2 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 *Instrumental break* 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
