If you ever think about me
Wonder how I've been
Wonder if I'm hanging on
Or falling off again
I've been down in Tulsa
You can rest assured
Never coming back that way
I'm giving you my word
It's alright it's ok
I never loved you anyway
I never cried I never laughed
I never took your photograph
You staked a claim to my good name
Whatever you wanted to
You taught me well anyone can tell
I stole this song from you
Heard you moved to memphis
Heard you play the bars
Heard you found a new girl
And a really old guitar
I wonder if you'd let her know
Did you lose your nerve
Would she think you got
Just what you deserve
It's alright it's ok
I never loved you anyway
I never cried I never laughed
I never took your photograph
You staked a claim to my good name
Whatever you wanted to
You taught me well anyone can tell
I stole this song from you
Back when we were lovers
And the wind cried out desire
I can still imagine you
Walking through the fire
Now I know you wouldn't risk
A hair upon your head
Guess you had to save them for
Your memphis girl instead
It's alright it's ok
I never loved you anyway
I never cried I never laughed
I never took your photograph
You staked a claim to my good name
Whatever you wanted to
You taught me well anyone can tell
I stole this song from you
I stole this song from you
I stole this song from you
I stole this song from you
I stole this song from you
I stole this song from you
