Ain't No Shooting Star

Darlin can you hear my voice through my words I've been writing all night long and I don't know what's worse A soul that's been locked up or your heart that burns Sorry about the hand writing it's shaken all my nerves I went and got myself locked up and this time it's for good Oh how I'd stay home with you now if I could But the rye whiskey owns me and I'll never pay my debt Last night I pulled my gun left an innocent man dead I know that I've never lived the best Had my reasons I guess in my mind This time I've went and gone to far Ain't no shooting star Ain't no shooting star save what I left behind Make sure that my little girls know their daddy loved them so If I could hold them right now I'd never let them go When they put that hangman's noose down around my throat I'll be thinking of you my love when they let that lever go I know that I've never lived the best Had my reasons I guess in my mind This time I've went and gone to far Ain't no shooting star Ain't no shooting star save what I left behind
