lyrics

I used to shine by boots
and salute the flag.
Now I'm singing The Blues,
my cap in my hand.
I holler on the corner all day
and I wonder how much more I can take.

My kin folk forgot me.
I never asked for much.
But there's nothin' I do
that makes me easy to love.
My best gal done forgotten my name
and I wonder how much more I can take.

I'm quick on the draw,
I've got an agile mind.
The bell tolled another round,
I never asked for a fight:
just a malted milk
and I'll be on my way.
I wonder how much more I can take.

I've never crossed anyone,
I've never wronged on purpose.
I've never known a hard time
but apparently I deserve it.
I've never asked a favour
but I've still got debts to pay
and I wonder how much more I can take.

I've been thinking of war
just across the horizon.
The short rope around my neck
is only bound to tighten
the farther from home I may stray
and I wonder how much more I can take.

When they set me on the gallows,
help me with that fall
but my will ain't broken.
Mama taught me to stand tall
and look that sheriff straight in the face.
I wonder how much more I can take.
