lyrics

12) Quitin’ You - m.litton

All the lies, lazy rhymes ‘n tales you ever told me
Couldn’t break the spell, oh no
Your magic still could hold me
But love’s the kinda game where ya have to play along
Now I broke a rule or two myself, girl
But you went ‘n broke ‘em all

Chorus: I’m quittin’ ya, babe
I’m already through
Girl, hear me when I say, I’m quittin’ you

I could be out ridin’ shotgun, acting out the role
But each bandit along the highway
Knows the cargo has been stole
I swear I’ve been mendin’ fences till my hands are cut ‘n torn
Now my hands will heal, so help me
But my heart won’t take no more

Bridge: Of your lies ‘n lazy rhymes
And all the tales you have told
Girl, ya know, I believed you then
But that was so long, long ago
Once I stood just like an oak, now I am willow
But come what may, I vow to hold my own
I realize quitters never win

But your cheatin’ game will never end
Now you must learn to sink or swim alone
(chorus)

In your heart your know I’m gone
But your pride will swear I’m dead
Well I’m tired of playin’ possum, girl
I’ll play the wolf instead
Cause there’s plenty of deer in the valley
And plenty of fish in the pond
And plenty of plums ‘n berries
For this ol’ wolf to feast upon
(chorus)

The Gothic Cowboy/The Border Band Lawrence, Kansas

I'm a creekbank ghetto boy. Began my singin' near half a century ago in Canada, then hit northeast, down thru Nashville, Austin, out to Colorado and back to Kansas where I started out and will likely remain. My influences are Leadbelly, Jimmie Rodgers, CCR and The Band, while the juices of a hundred others flavor my music, not to mention the devil himself if that's what it takes to make a song... ... more
