lyrics

If They Ever Let Me Back

If they ever let me back in Shreveport
This time I’m gonna get it right
i’ll be grinding past the fishes with their grandiose wishes
and I’ll hold my razors tight
gonna find a high roller to stake me
I’m a wait til I know just when
Throw my lowdown dime on black and spin
If they ever let me back in Shreveport again

If they ever let me back in LA
I’m gonna walk right up to your door
Knock once, knock twice and knock once more
Then I’m never gonna knock no more
I never did claim to be perfect
Never been a 10 out of 10
I gave it my best who cares ‘bout the rest
If they ever let me back in LA again

If they ever let me back in New York City
Last turn was back in seventeen
I’ll roll through the streets with my watch on a chain
be a smooth 5th avenue dream
Dawn will be my mistress
and tomorrow will have no end
I’ll have grand ole time on someone’s else dime
If they ever let me back in New York City again

If they ever let me back in Austin
I’m going to look up my old pal
We’ll have a drink and smoke and tell some jokes
down at our favorite locale
Gonna wander down congress in blue jeans
you don’t put on airs with friends
I can find my worth in the rocks and earth
If they ever let me back in Austin again

If they ever let me back in Fort Worth
It’s a wonder if they ever will
rules are meant to be broken but you can’t break the law
Does any rounder ever get their fill?
But i’ll keep my hands in my pockets
I’ll never go back to the pen
No diamond shines brighter than freedom found
If they ever let me back in Fort Worth again
