Lyrics:
Said mama, I write country songs, but I didn't have a band
Figure I could start one and make myself a stand
Against all the injustice that happens in the world
Instead I sit here drinking, thinking about some girl

For awhile, I could stand the late night talk shows
I admit, it gave me some relief
For awhile, I stopped looking out my windows
Yes, I admit, I thought you'd never leave me

Well, all them boys in Texas, they don't have a clue
When they find they're messin' with a girl the likes of you
Then they all come runnin' down to the local well
Where all they got's their whiskey and stories that they tell

For awhile, I could stand the sight of bourbon
I admit, it gave me some relief
For awhile, I said it wasn't hurting
Yes, I admit, I thought you'd never leave me

Song written by Fredd Luongo (ASCAP)
