[Verse 1]
Oh, I wished I was in Austin in the Chili Parlor Bar
Drinking Mad Dog Margaritas and not caring where you are
Oh, but here I sit in Dublin just rolling cigarettes
And holding back and choking back the shakes with every breath

[Chorus]
So forgive me all my anger, oh, forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me for thinking what I thought
I loved you from the get-go and I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish Steps the day you said goodbye

[Verse 2]
Oh, I am just a poor boy, oh and work's my middle name
And if money was a reason, well, I would not be the same
And I'll stand up and be countеd, I'll face up to the truth
I can walk away from trouble, but I can't walk away from you

[Chorus]
Oh, forgivе me all my anger, oh, forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me for thinking what I thought
I loved you from the get-go and I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish Steps the day you said goodbye

[Verse 3]
Oh, and I have been to Fort Worth, oh and I have been to Spain
Oh, and I have been too proud to come in out of the rain
Oh, and I have seen the David, I've seen the Mona Lisa too
Oh, and I have heard Doc Watson play "Columbus Stockade Blues"
[Chorus]
Oh, forgive me all my anger, oh forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me for thinking what I thought
I loved you from the get-go and I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish Steps the day you said goodbye

[Outro]
Oh I wished I was in Austin in the Chili Parlor Bar
Drinking Mad Dog Margaritas and not caring where you are
