Beyond My Means Lyrics

Beyond My Means lyrics

Livin' beyond my means, don't know how I'm gonna get by

Livin' beyond my means, don't ya know a man's got to try

Don't know how it started, all I know is it's got to end

I've got a noose around my neck and I don't know why



I followed you to Detroit City then down to New Orleans

Trail after trail with nothing but a bottle of too old gin

Don't know where you lead me all I know is I've got to go

Gotta find you babe, before I'm too old



Livin' beyond my means

With all these loving you things

Don't know how I'll get by

Lord help me try



Do you remember that night in Dallas when you stole my heart

I didn't put up a fight just to find me one more start

Now it's taken me out of my home and put me out on the street

This loving you thing has got me beat



I called your name in Boston where I thought that you might be

On my way back to Texas I took a long look down in Tennessee

This wild turkey chase, well it's got the best of me

I guess it's bets to quit when you're behind
