Dublin Blues Lyrics

by Steve Earle

I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlor Bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are
But here I sit in Dublin
Just rollin' cigarettes
Holdin' back and chokin' back
The shakes with every breath

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e119115-steve_earle~dublin_blues_lyrics.html ]
So forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinkin' what I thought
I loved you from the get go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish Steps
The day you said goodbye

I am just a poor boy
Work's my middle name
If money was a reason
Then I would not be the same
I'll stand up and be counted
I'll face up to the truth
I'll walk away from trouble
But I can't walk away from you

Forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinkin' what I thought
I loved you from the get go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish Steps
The day you said goodbye

I have been to Fort Worth
I have been to Spain
I have been too proud
To come in out of the rain
I have seen the David, mmm
I've seen the Mona Lisa too
I have heard Doc Watson
Play Columbus Stockade Blues

Forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinkin' what I thought
I loved you from the get go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish Steps
The day you said goodbye

I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlor Bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are
