I wish I was in Austin
In a chilly parlor bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are
But here I sit in Dublin
Just rollin' cigarettes
Holdin' back and chokin' back
The shakes with every breathForgive 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
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbyeI am just a poor boy
Work's my middle name
If money was a reason
I would not be the sameI'll stand up and be counted
I'll face up to the truth
I'll walk away from trouble
But I can't walk away from youForgive 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
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbyeI have been to Fort Worth
I have been to Spain
I have been to proud
To come in out of the rainI have seen the David
I've seen the Mona Lisa too
I have heard Doc Watson
Play Columbus Stockade BluesForgive 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
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbyeI wish I was in Austin
In a chilly parlour bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are
