Cosgrove Rushing - When You Wake Up I'll Be Gone

Too many times I've been caught in the middle
And I ain't got no place to run
Too many days I'm running west
But I'm looking for a rising sun
Too many nights I wake up
I can't go back to sleep
That's why when you wake up I'll be gone
Too many times I've drank too much
To endure this loveless life
Too many friends of yours and mine
Wonder why we were a man and wife
Now I know I'm some kind of freak of nature
To stay around this long
That's why when you wake up I'll be gone
'Cause there's far too many roads to travel down
And there's far too many women
Whose bridges I have not burned down
And you my darling finally got into a song
That's why when you wake up I'll be gone
Too many times I'd come home
Never to a hug or a kiss
Too many days you'd started screaming
Those ol' names I will never miss
Now you can go and figure honey
Who was right or wrong
But that's why when you wake up I'll be gone
'Cause there's far too many roads to travel down
And there's far too many women
Whose bridges I have not burned down
And you my darling finally got into a song
That's why when you wake up I'll be gone
I ain't blaming no one for my problems
Lord he did give me a fine brain
For ten years I have recognized in sorrow
The day I married you I must have been insane
Too many books I have tried to read
Trying to know what's going on
Too many laundry lists you'd keep
And the list got far too long
Now I feel like Fay Wray
In the hands of 'ol King Kong
But that's why when you wake up I'll be gone
'Cause there's far too many roads to travel down
And there's far too many women
Whose bridges I have not burned down
And you my darling finally got into a song
That's why when you wake up I'll be gone
That's why when you wake up I'll be gone
That's why when you wake up I'll be gone
Baby I'll be gone
