ONE TOO MANY STORIES

(JOHN DAWSON)

THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING GET BIGGER PRETTY FAST
AND THE GLOW I FELT AT MIDNIGHT, I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD LAST
THE SUN IS SLOWLY RISING NOW INTO MY BLOODSHOT EYES
BUT I'M NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN, GONNA BELIEVE YOUR LIES AND THAT'S

ONE TOO MANY STORIES YOU'VE TOLD
ONE TOO MANY TURNS OUT ON THE ROAD
MY LOVE FOR YOU COULDN'T HOLD THE LOAD
'CAUSE THAT'S ONE TOO MANY STORIES YOU'VE TOLD

NOW A FRIENDLY BOTTLE OF WHISKEY AIN'T AS GOOD AS YOUR EMBRACE
BUT THE BOTTLE NEVER TOLD ME ANY STORIES TO MY FACE
SO YOU FIND ME HERE JUST DRINKIN', BUT FOR NOW IT'S GOT TO SUFFICE
'CAUSE I'M NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN, GONNA BELIEVE YOUR LIES AND THAT'S

ONE TOO MANY STORIES YOU'VE TOLD
ONE TOO MANY TURNS OUT ON THE ROAD
MY LOVE FOR YOU COULDN'T HOLD THE LOAD
'CAUSE THAT'S ONE TOO MANY STORIES YOU'VE TOLD
I SAID THAT'S ONE TOO MANY STORIES YOU'VE TOLD
