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
