Lyrics

I met a man out in Memphis
We sang the blues all night
He said he had a woman at home and he aint the cheatin kind
Well it only took a couple of songs
Til he was telling me all she's doing wrong

And given me the eyes
Oh I know those eyes
We'd share a soul for a day or two
Though he's got somebody home to lose

Now you're sayin you'd risk it all for us
But darlin I wouldn't risk a paper cut
If it meant I got to keep you by my side
I don't wish me on anybody no not even you
So go back to the one you're promised to
And don't waste your heart on someone passin through

I met a lady down in Austin
Where the ranch water flowed all night
She said she had a woman at home and she aint the cheatin kind
Well it only took a couple of sips
Til she was tellin me all her slips

And how she feels so blue
Come on what could I do
But she's got somebody home to lose

Now you're sayin you'd risk it all for us
But darlin I wouldn't risk a paper cut
If it meant I got to keep you by my side
I don't wish me on anybody no not even you
So go back to the one you're promised to
And don't waste your heart on someone passin through

I've been walkin through the desert talkin to god
Goin over and over what I should have thought
But I'm the only one I'm promised to
So why would I fall for you

And don't tell me you'd risk it all for us
Cause darlin I wouldn't risk a paper cut
If it meant I got to keep you by my side
I don't wish me on anybody no not even you
So go back to the one you're promised to
And don't waste your heart on someone passin through
No don't waste your tears on me I'm just passin through
