Enough Rope

I am old Almost forgotten I don't look like much These days I know When I was young I cut quite a figure Were no wild oats I would not sow Too many girls with long eyelashes Might have married two or three I couldn't tell you how that happened, honestly Money talks Liquor whispers And I have listened to them both Love is sweet Until it's bitter Life is long Pay as you go And I've learned less than I've forgotten There's still more I wish I didn't know And a man will hang himself most likely If you give him enough rope I never thought it'd all be easy But I do remember expecting more I should have died young I should have died handsome I won't die rich I won't die poor I never did make master sergeant Was never too good at kissing ass I guess I could have tried a little bit harder There's always that Well Money talks Liquor whispers And I have listened to them both Chance is slim Fate is fickle Life is short There you go And I've learned less than I've forgotten There's still more I wish I didn't know And a man will hang himself most likely If you give him enough rope All is fair If not forgiven Redemption waits Somewhere I hope And a man will hang himself most likely If you give him enough rope Yes, a man will hang most likely If you give him enough rope
