I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlour 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 breath
Forgive 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 goodbye
I am just a poor boy
Work`s my middle name
If money was a reason
I would not be the same
I`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 you
I have been to Fort Worth
I have been to Spain
I have been to proud
To come in out of the rain
I have seen the David
I`ve seen the Mona Lisa too
I have heard Doc Watson
Play Columbus Stockade Blues
Forgive 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 goodbye
I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlour Bar
Drinkin` Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin` where you are
