I'd like to send this song out to my girlfriend She's was a feisty one, let's see now I'm sending out invitations Gonna have me a big celebration I'm giving up on everything I thought was mine Thought was mine If her love for him grows stronger Why drag this thing out much longer? I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind They got most stuff here a hang onto I don't think it's worth the changes it put me through, oh yeah My old heart just don't need all of that, no, no Drinkin' coffee, waiting, I know your love ain't returnin' So I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind I'd write a song about something real funny If I thought everybody would laugh I'd write a song about a whole lot of money If I thought it could bring me some cash I'd write a song about the trip I went on I wish I'd never taken where you'd be But always keep me feelin' funny, girl You got me honey and you keep on workin' on me I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind I'd be ahead if I could quit while I'm behind
