Quit While I'm Ahead

Lyrics

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
 Chorus 1:
 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
 Well West Texas in the morning, little darling are you down
 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
 Chorus 2:
 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
 Chorus 1:
 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, ive been dancing with damnation and I'm drinking all alone
 And I am busted broke and bent and beat and 'bout half way to dead
 Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh lord well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
