[Verse 1]
Well I wont Elie and say I didn’t think the good ones all were taken
Since there Aaint no peaches falling from the Etree that I've been shaking
And it's Esolitary B7sleeping in this G#bed that I've beenA making
Well Emaybe I should B7quit while I'm Eahead
Well my inEtent was being handed I never laid a hand
And the kiAndness of my gesture was a gEood far cry from grand
They were aEwful well iB7ntended, they were G#all that I canA stand
Ah mEaybe I should qB7uit while I'm aEhead
[Chorus]
And now B7darlin if I called you, could you love me like a kid
Could you Elove me like you loved me way back when you really did
Well B7Darlin if I called you could you just pick up the phone
Lord, I've been Adancing with damnation and I'm drinking all alone
And I am Ebusted broke and B7bent and beat and 'G#bout halfway toA dead
Ah Emaybe I should B7quit while I'm aEhead, oh Lord, well Emaybe I should B7quit while I'm aEhead

[Verse 2]
WeEll West Texas in the morning, little darling are you down
Where the Acolor of the country is your Esweet eye shade of brown
And if I Etold you how I B7felt, well you’d say G#boy get out ofA town
WelEl maybe I should B7quit while I'm Eahead
[Chorus]
Now B7darlin if I called you, could you love me like a kid
Could you Elove me like you loved me way back when you really did
Well B7Darlin if I called you would you even talk to me
When I am lAit up like a star atop your favorite Christmas tree
And I am Ebusted broke and B7bent and beat and G#'bout half way toA dead
Ah Emaybe I should B7quit while im Eahead, oh Lord well Emaybe I should B7quit while I'm Eahead
*Instumental break*
[Chorus]
And now B7darlin if I called you, could you love me like a kid
Could you Elove me like you loved me way back when you really did
Well B7Darlin if I called you could you just pick up the phone
Lord, I've been Adancing with damnation and I'm drinking all alone
And I am Ebusted broke and B7bent and beat and 'G#bout halfway toA dead
Ah Emaybe I should B7quit while I'm aEhead, oh Lord, well Emaybe I should B7quit while I'm aEhead
