Shootin' stars and whiskey bottlesall scattered across the yardI'd-a stayed back home in houstonIf I'd known it be this hardOh but as it is I'm bustedI broke down across the bayAnd I might not make DecemberIf we keep carrying on this wayPretty girls and deep depressionskeep falling from the skyI got all the time in heavenbut no sense to wonder whyAnd the nights have all gone crazyand the bars have all shut downOne day I swear I'll blow it allpack up and leave this townAnd sometimes I get so tiredof telling right from wrongHey i'm glad I cameJust wish I hadn't stayed so longHere I am in music citylong nights and neon signsAnd I can't seem to rememberSongtextewhat I came so far to findPolice cars and paper moneyMotel rooms and cigarettesHere to tell you ain't nothin'just in case you might forgetI can hear the country music in the window up above? do it for the moneydo it, do it for the love?? and stolen pistolsseemed all that comes my wayI'm gonna burn down all my bridgesfind a car and drive awayAnd sometimes I can't believeI did all that for a songHey i'm glad I cameJust wish I hadn't stayed so longWe could make Louisianain two hours timeWe could pull off of the highwayby the big casino signAnd we could take up all our wishesand bet 'em all on blackHit the lights of Mississippiwith the Southland at our backsAnd it's always been the sameDown every road I've comeHey I'm glad I cameJust wish I hadn't stayed so long Aus Songtexte Mania
