And I was Hank Williams and I couldn't fail

But the look in your eyes told a whole different tail.

A dinner engagement with an old friend

You raised your glass and toasted and now I'm him again (?)

Sure I remember but wasn't it fun?

Some shouldn't gamble and some shouldn't kiss 
     Bm                                 G 
And should some wipe pride fools right off of their list. 
     A                           D 
And some shouldn't hold guns in such great esteem 
        Bm                        G             E 
And it seems when I'm lonely that I shouldn't dream.
