Well I wont lie and say I didn't think the good ones 
all were taken 
Since there aint no peaches falling from the tree that 
I've been shaking 
And it's solitary sleeping in this bed that I've been 
making 
Well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
Well my intent was being handed I never laid a hand
And the kindness of my gesture was a good far cry from 
grand
They were awful well intended, they were all that I can 
stand
Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
Chorus 1:
And now darlin if I called you, could you love me like 
a kid
Could you love me like you loved me way back when you 
really did
Well Darlin if I called you could you just pick up the 
phone
Lord, I've been dancing with damnation and I'm drinking 
all alone
And I am busted broke and bent and beat and 'bout 
halfway to dead
Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh Lord, well 
maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

Well West Texas in the morning, little darling are you 
down 
Where the color of the country is your sweet eye shade 
of brown 
And if I told you how I felt, well you'd say boy get 
out of town
Well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
Chorus 2:
Now darlin if I called you, could you love me like a 
kid
Could you love me like you loved me way back when you 
really did
Well Darlin if I called you would you even talk to me
When I am lit up like a star atop your favorite 
Christmas tree
And I am busted broke and bent and beat and 'bout half 
way to dead
Ah maybe I should quit while im ahead, oh Lord well 
maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
Chorus 1:
Now darlin if I called you, could you love me like a 
kid
Could you love me like you loved me way back when you 
really did
Well Darlin if I called you could you just pick up the 
phone
Lord, ive been dancing with damnation and I'm drinking 
all alone
And I am busted broke and bent and beat and 'bout half 
way to dead
Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh lord well 
maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
