lyrics

I remember walking down to the bar just up the road,
and I remember walking home with nothing in my pockets but a fine toothed comb.
We had a hell of a time, or so they say.
Funny thing is I can't put my finger on much of anything I did that day.

I remember coming in, falling down in the floor, the last thing that I can plainly recall was seeing you walking out the door.

Now that you've gone away, I've been thinking 'bout ya night and day, so mama, won' t you please come home.
Now that you've gone away, I ain't had a drop to drink today, so mama, won't you please come home.

I remember that old card game, I thought I was playing well. When we layed down our hands, let me tell ya' baby, it all went to hell.
I was on a roll, now I'm singing the blues.
He laid down aces and I laid two's and he took my best pair of wintipped shoes...

...and I'm thinking maybe baby, should've worn my boots
thinking maybe baby, should've worn my boots
thinking maybe baby, should've worn my boots
thinking maybe baby, should've worn my boots
