Too Drunk To Call

Too Drunk To Call Darlin’ I know it was a mistake Going out least night I had a few too many Jack, Jim and Jose weren’t my friends I shouldn’t have called you as the sun was coming up I just wanted to tell you I love you Let you know that I was thinking about you Wishing you were in my arms I knew I shouldn’t have gone to that saloon I knew I should have only had a beer I could hardly walk but I thought of you God, why weren’t you here with me Jack, Jim and Jose gave me the nerve I was calling to ask you to be my wife I had it rehearsed in my mind My heart had written the words so long ago Still I had a few too many I shouldn’t have called you as the sun was coming up I should have waited I should have let some time pass Then maybe you would have said yes Maybe I would be able to love you for the rest of my life Maybe…just maybe I would be able to remember your name
