I Saw It Coming

I saw it coming long before it came Couldn't help it though Only I'm to blame She was in a class Strictly of her own I was in a class Of a lower zone Still I fell in love Cowboy boots and all She said she wondered If I'd ever call We tore off our clothes Both of mine and hers Then came the mistake - I forgot my spurs Ripped her satin sheets In a dreadful shred She swore and she cried And wished I was dead Pushed me through the door Tumbled down the stairs Broke both of my legs They only work in pairs I'll be in my chair 'Bout a month or so They say that ain't bad As broken legs go She kept my new spurs Hung 'em on a block Put a sign beside "Hang 'em or don't knock" I earned my lesson And I learned it well Leave spurs on you horse Not in the hotel 9-13-19
