I’m sorry that you had to hang around with me
I was a no good woman with a wore out ring
trouble always seemed to come ‘round my door
and when it got me out, I went lookin’ for more
I know you don’t wanna hear the same old things
but I’m getting it together up in Bowling Green
I ain’t done much in this whole life but when you found me babe, I was another man’s wife
well, I can’t take back the things I’ve done
always looking for new ways to run
just to find myself in the middle of the road
picking up the pieces that I just let go
spent my nights a-drinkin’ in a Warren bar
taking sips of bourbon from a mason jar
wearing out my welcome every place I strayed
so I packed my things and I stole away
well, I made to the chapel come the morning light
thought I’d ask the Lord above to leave my sins behind
but the preacher man said that ain’t the way to go
‘cause even Jesus Christ can’t ever save my soul
well, I can’t take back the things I’ve done
always looking for new ways to run
just to find myself in the middle of the road
picking up the pieces that I just let go
no, I can’t take back the things I’ve done
always looking for new ways to run
just to find myself in the middle of the road
picking up the pieces that I just let go
