Whiskey Boot Hill (Live at The Riverboat 1969) Lyrics
Winding paths through tables and glass
First fall was new
Now watch the summer pass
So close to you
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave
No pass out sign on the door set me thinking
Are waitresses paying the price of their winking?
While stars sit in bars and decide what their drinking
They drop by to die 'cause it's faster than sinking
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave
Find out that now was the answer
To answers that you gave later
She did the things that we both did before, now
But who forgave her
First fall was new
Now watch the summer pass
So close to you
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave
No pass out sign on the door set me thinking
Are waitresses paying the price of their winking?
While stars sit in bars and decide what their drinking
They drop by to die 'cause it's faster than sinking
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave
Find out that now was the answer
To answers that you gave later
She did the things that we both did before, now
But who forgave her
If I could stand to see her crying
I would tell her not to care
When she learns of all your lyin'
Will she join you there?
Country girl I think you're pretty
Got to make you understand
Have no lovers in the city
Let me be your country man
Got to make you understand
I would tell her not to care
When she learns of all your lyin'
Will she join you there?
Country girl I think you're pretty
Got to make you understand
Have no lovers in the city
Let me be your country man
Got to make you understand
