Don’t apologize
I don’t need a pack of lies
I just want to close the gate
Put the gun in the rack pull the trailer away
Don’t cry a tear for me
‘cause the world don’t run on apologies
I can put love aside
But don’t ask me to change I was not built that way

Go on and live and die
I’ll see you at Christmas time
Go on and tell your pa
All the bad things I did
All the reasons you saw
I got a mind to go
To the water and maybe to Mexico
I’m not going to say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Chorus
Close it up
Cause I’m wasting my time
Cross my name off your dotted line
Go back to doing what’s done and goen
To kepp myself from coming undone

Don’t want to organize
Just to find out I never tried
Just ant to fold my check
In the back of my jeans
Call it cause and effect
How can I bear the load
When the promise you made was to let me go
I fell it coming on
And on and on and on and on

CH

I’d call up a friend of mine
But I know he don’t have the time
So I’m planning out where I can go
Put my cigarette out I can’t taste it no more
Don’t mind me hanging around just a little too long
I was born in this town
Coffee and nicotine
Can calm me so long
But they can’t kill the screaming

CH
