Steve Earle & the Dukes - Dublin Blues Lyrics

I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlor Bar
Drinking Mad Dog Margaritas
And not caring where you are
But here I sit in Dublin
Just rolling cigarettes
Holding back and choking back
The shakes with every breath

Forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
Ain't no need to forgive me
For thinking what I thought
I loved you from the git go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbye

Now, 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
Ain't no need to forgive me
For thinking what I thought
I loved you from the git 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 to proud
To come in out of the rain
I have seen the David
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
Ain't no need to forgive me
For thinking what I thought
I loved you from the git go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbye

Well I wished I was in Austin, hmm, in the Chili Parlor Bar
Drinking Mad Dog Margaritas and not caring where you are
