Well I almost bummed a ride from Kansas City Would?ve had me home 2 months ago, time for easter anyway It took 16 days to thumb back east to Nashville I just got outside of our town with that trucker yesterday And I guess I hoped she might still be here a-waitin? And I know you and all the boys got money in your hands And I?m sorry and I thought that I was stayin? But I know she?s got her reasons but she don?t understand So tell the cops to head on back to town And make all them pretty women settle down And if our shoulder drinkin?, backwards thinkin? don?t just cut it here Buddy when you won?t meet me on St. Patricks Day next year I?ll be 1500 miles before I?m gone And I?ll still be wishin? I?d be stayin on But I called her up just like I did a hundred times before And she told me almost doesn?t count no more Chorus Even though she told me almost doesn?t count no more
