Well, I wished I was in Austin, mmm In a chilly parlor bar Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas And not carin' where you are Here I sit in Dublin Just rollin' cigarettes Holdin' back and chokin' 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 thinkin' what I thought I loved you from the get go And I'll love you 'til I die I loved you on the Spanish steps The day you said goodbye Now I am just a poor boy Work's my middle name If money was a reason I would not be the same I'll stand up and be counted 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 thinkin' what I thought I loved you from the get go And I'll love you 'til I die I loved you on the Spanish steps The day you said goodbye I have been to Fort Worth, mmm And I have been to Spain And I have been too proud To come in out of the rain I have seen the David, mmm I've seen the Mona Lisa too And I have heard Doc Watson Play "Columbus Stockade Blues" Forgive me all my anger Forgive me all my faults There's no need to forgive me For thinkin' what I've thought I loved you from the get go And I'll love you 'til I die I loved you on the Spanish steps The day you said goodbye Well, I wished I was in Austin, mmm In a chilly parlour bar Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas And not carin' where you are
