[Verse]
G D7
I keep knockin' over whiskeys, no one's laughin’ at my jokes
C G
They got me spinnin' 'round in circle like a tin can in the spokes
D7
When I left town this mornin' with a smile upon my face
C G
Oh, babe, I swear I never knew I'd end up in this place
[Chorus]
Am Am/G D/F# D
Run away little darling, you don't need me anymore
G Em C D G
I've been out here for too long, it ain't like it was before
[Verse]
G D7
If I get back home to Houston, I'm goin’ to tip my hat and cry
C G
When I left I was a younger man too proud to say goodbye
D7
I'm gonna wake up in the mornin’, with a conscience ten feet tall
C G
I'm gonna to lay my head down wiser or I won't look down at all
[Chorus]
Am Am/G D/F# D
Run away little darling, you don't need me anymore
G Em C D G
I've been out here for too long, it ain't like it was before
[Solo]

[Verse]
G D7
I used to live out on the border where no one else could reach
C G
Now I can’t ask a question without you givin' a speech
D7
You said I never cared, babe, you know that isn't true
C G
It's just the only thing you ask of me is the one thing I can't do
[Chorus]
Am Am/G D/F# D
Run away little darling, you don't need me anymore
G Em C Am
I've been out here for too long, it ain't like it was before
D C G
Run away little darlin' and leave you with a smile
G Em C D G
I'm knockin' over whiskeys and I will be for awhile
