I'm just not tyin', down kind
I've thought I could hold her much closer to me
By giving her freedom a mind.
I figured someday that she would outgrow her flare
For the flirtin' and flinging
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her
And she's still out there swinging.
I never pryed into the where's and the why's
No matter what time she came in
While I thought she was out playin' bridge with the girls
She was out playin' games with the men.
Too late I discovered she had too much slack
Like a fool to a dream I'm still clinging
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her
And she's still out there swinging.
--- Instrumental ---
Now, here I sit with the why do I do's
While she's running round wild and free
I tried to give her a mind of her own
But she couldn't keep it on me.
Now, just like a fool I still sit here at home
And wait by a phone, that's my bringing
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her
And she's still out there swinging.
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her
And she's still out there swinging...
I never told her the what not to do's I'm just not tyin', down kind I've thought I could hold her much closer to me By giving her freedom a mind. I figured someday that she would outgrow her flare For the flirtin' and flinging I finally gave her enough rope to hang her And she's still out there swinging. I never pryed into the where's and the why's No matter what time she came in While I thought she was out playin' bridge with the girls She was out playin' games with the men. Too late I discovered she had too much slack Like a fool to a dream I'm still clinging I finally gave her enough rope to hang her And she's still out there swinging. --- Instrumental --- Now, here I sit with the why do I do's While she's running round wild and free I tried to give her a mind of her own But she couldn't keep it on me. Now, just like a fool I still sit here at home And wait by a phone, that's my bringing I finally gave her enough rope to hang her And she's still out there swinging. I finally gave her enough rope to hang her And she's still out there swinging... Explain Request ×
