I Finally Gave Her Enough Rope To Hang — текст песни (Buck Owens)

I never told her the what not to do`s I`m just not tyin` down kind
I`ve thought I could hold her much closer to me by giving her freedom a mind
I figured someday that she would outgrow her flare for the flirtin` and flinging
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she`s still out there swinging
I never tried into the where`s and the why`s no matter what time she came in
While I thought she was out playin` bridge with the girls
She was out playin` games with the men
Too late I discovered she had too much slack like a fool to a dream I`m still clinging
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she`s still out there swinging
[ guitar ]
Now here I sit with the why do I do`s while she`s running round wild and free
I tried to give her a mind of her own but she couldn`t keep it on me
Now just like a fool I still sit here at home and wait by a phone that`s my bringing
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she`s still out there swinging
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she`s still out there swinging
