Your silhouette, it's in my nightmare And I can't rest my eyes as all And I'll be leaving by the morning You ever seen Chicago in the fall? ♪ Mama told me I was nothing That who I was ain't who I am And living free out here gets lonely Swore I'd do the best I can So I was ain't who I am I swore I'd do the best I can So I was ain't who I am I swore I'd do the best I can ♪ A young man angry with a heartache Will steal and cheat and lie to live And gasoline out on this highway Burin bridges of revenge So I was ain't who I am I swore I'd do the best I can White lines, keep to make my troubles on through the night White lines, baby, all I ever see when you're crying My blinds are drawn Greenville ain't too far from Austin A day by foot, a night by train And ill leave roses for my baby Wrapped inside a wedding ring So I was ain't who I am I swore I'd do the best I can So I was ain't who I am I swore I'd do the best I can
