Spent All My Money On You

I'm coming back to this town It's been years since I've been around Ain't much changed in the time since I've been gone I went to the same old bar Where I played like I was a star That same old place you said that we were through I asked all the people there If you were here and where They all laughed and I was a fool When I tracked you down We lit up all the town We partied all night until the bill came due "Chorus" "Now baby I want to stay but you won't help me pay I spent all my money on you I ain't got a dollar to my name Next week it'll be the same Because I'm spending all my money on you" Now I'm leaving town on the fasted route I found I can't get far enough away from you My paycheck's all been spent Not enough left for the rent A tank of gas and this highway is all I own So I'm going to play this old banjo until I find another home I ain't never coming back this way again So little girl forget my name And I'll do you the same Just like I told you all those years ago "Chorus" "Now baby I want to stay but you won't help me pay I spent all my money on you I ain't got a dollar to my name Next week it'll be the same Because I'm spending all my money on you I ain't got a dollar to my name Next week it'll be the same Because I'm spending all my money on you"
