Cindy

Cindy I quit drinking and I quit running wild

I screwed my head on straight and now I just stay in most nights

I'm making pretty good money playing around with my band

They say we've got what it takes but we'll just have to see I guess

And I've got me a steady girl now, I met her at one of the shows

I went a bought her a ring and we're gonna honeymoon down in Mexico

I know just what you're thinking, that I ain't the kind to settle down

Christ I'd give anything if you could just see me now

I heard you're getting married, your Mama told me the news

And I hope to hell you're happy and he'd better be good to you

And tell little Angie that I love her and thanks for the picture you sent

I tried calling but you changed your number and you left me no return address

And if she ever asks about me I hope you only tell her the good things

Though I know that must be hard for you

They're so few and far between

Cindy, I was never good at lying to you and the drinking just got worse like you said

And my guitar is sitting in hock for now cause I got behind on some debts

I got nailed for driving drunk again and no one would go my bail

And I couldn't pay the fine so I'm serving weekends here in the county jail

And I was just kinda killing some time here and I was staring down at a blank page

And I'll never know why but the first thing I wrote down

Was your name
