Well, 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 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 till I die I loved you on the Spanish Steps the day you said goodbye Now I am just a poor boy, mmh Work's my middle name, if money was a reason I would not be the same I'll stand up and be counted, mmh 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 till I die I loved you on the Spanish Steps the day you said goodbye I have been to Fort Worth, mmh I have been to Spain, I have been too proud To come in out of the rain I have seen the David, mmh I've seen the Mona Lisa too, and I have heard Doc Watson Sing 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 till I die I loved you on the Spanish Steps the day you said goodbye
