Well I wont lie and say I
didn't think the good ones all were taken
Since there aint no peaches falling from
the tree that I've been shaking
And it's solitary sleeping in this
bed that I've been making
Well maybe I should quit
while I'm ahead
Well my intent was being
handed I never laid a hand
And the kindness of my gesture was
a good far cry from grand
They were awful well intended,
they were all that I can stand
Ah maybe I should quit
while I'm ahead
Chorus 1:
And now darlin if I called you,
could you love me like a kid
Could you love me like you loved me
way back when you really did
Well Darlin if I called you could
you just pick up the phone
Lord, I've been dancing with damnation
and I'm drinking all alone
And I am busted broke and bent and
beat and 'bout halfway to dead
Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh Lord,
well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
Well West Texas in the morning,
And if I told you how I felt,
well you'd say boy get out of town
Well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
Chorus 2:
Now darlin if I called you,
could you love me like a kid
Could you love me like you loved me
way back when you really did
Well Darlin if I called you would
you even talk to me
When I am lit up like a star atop
your favorite Christmas tree
And I am busted broke and bent and beat
and 'bout half way to dead
Ah maybe I should quit while im ahead,
oh Lord well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
Chorus
