I'm feeling blue, my heart is heavy
If only I could get back home to you
I'd pay big money, to hold you in my arms tonight
Before this day is through

Every minute, every hour
I think I hear you calling my name
Could a been home to you yesterday
I got no one but myself to blame
For missing that train

I stayed up too late drinking
With a man from Texas, who'd been
All over the world
And the world had not been kind to him

He got me thinking
And you know when I start thinking
I'll drink that bottle till every thought is gone
That man he got me thinking
Thinking till the crack of dawn

I'm on my way, so sorry baby
I'll find a means to make it up to you
Won't pick no daisies, and put 'em in a paper cup
I'll dig a little deeper, come up with something new

Every minute, every hour
I think I hear you calling my name
Should a been home to you yesterday
I got no one but myself to blame
For missing that train

I stayed up too late drinking
With a man from Texas, who'd been
All over the world
And the world had not been kind to him
He got me thinking
And you know when I start thinking
I'll drink that bottle till every thought is gone
That man he got me thinking
Thinking till the crack of dawn

I told him, hey buddy it's light outside
Hey buddy I gotta go
The birds are singing Clair de Lune
And putting on a show
Thinkin's turned to getting'
And gettin's gotta plan
I need to find home lickety-split
Quick as I can, or I will be
a dead man

I stayed up too late drinking
With a man from Texas, who'd been
All over the world
And the world had not been kind to him
He got me thinking
And you know when I start thinking
I'll drink that bottle till every thought is gone
That man he got me thinking
Thinking till the crack of dawn

That man he got me thinking
Thinking till the crack of dawn
