Livin` beyond my means, don`t know how I`m gonna get by
Livin` beyond my means, don`t ya know a man`s got to try
Don`t know how it started, all I know is it`s got to end
I`ve got a noose around my neck and I don`t know why
I followed you to Detroit City then down to New Orleans
Trail after trail with nothing but a bottle of too old gin
Don`t know where you lead me all I know is I`ve got to go
Gotta find you babe, before I`m too old
Livin` beyond my means
With all these loving you things
Don`t know how I`ll get by
Lord help me try
Do you remember that night in Dallas when you stole my heart
I didn`t put up a fight just to find me one more start
Now it`s taken me out of my home and put me out on the street
This loving you thing has got me beat
I called your name in Boston where I thought that you might be
On my way back to Texas I took a long look down in Tennessee
This wild turkey chase, well it`s got the best of me
I guess it`s bets to quit when you`re behind
