Jack Ingram 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
