Well I wished I was in Austin, hmm, in the Chili Parlor Bar   Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas and not carin' where you are   Here I sit in Dublin, hmm, just rollin' cigarettes   Holdin' back and chokin' back, the shakes with every breath      So 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 and 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, hmm, work's my middle name   If money was a reason, well I would not be the same   I'll stand up and be counted, hmm, I'll face up to the truth   I'll walk away from trouble, but I can't walk away from you      So 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 and I'll love you till I die   I loved you on the Spanish steps, the day you said goodbye      I have been to Fort Worth, hmm, and I have been to Spain   And I have been too proud to come in out of the rain   And I have seen the David, hmm, I've seen Mona Lisa too   And 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 and I'll love you till I die   I loved you on the Spanish steps, the day you said goodbye      Well I wished I was in Austin, hmm, in the Chili Parlor Bar   Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas and not carin' where you are
