Dublin Blues

I wished I was in Austin in the Chili Parlor Bar Drinking Mad Dog Margaritas and not caring where you are But here I sit in Dublin just rolling cigarettes Holding back and choking 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 thinking what I thought I loved you from the get go, and I'll love you 'til I die I loved you on the Spanish Steps the day you said goodbye I am just a poor boy, work's my middle name If money was a reason, well, I would not be the same But I'll stand up and be counted, 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 thinking what I thought I loved you from the get go, and I'll love you 'til I die I loved you on the Spanish Steps the day you said goodbye I have been to Fort Worth, and I have been to Spain I have been too proud to come in out of the rain I have seen the David, I've seen the Mona Lisa too I have heard Doc Watson play, "Columbus Stockade Blues" So forgive me all my anger, forgive me all my faults There's no need to forgive me for thinking what I thought I loved you from the get go, and I'll love you 'til 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 Drinking Mad Dog Margaritas and not caring where you are Thank y'all very much It's Guy Clark Thanks very much, I had a great time
