I'm Ahead If I Can Quit While I'm Behind

Send out some invitations
Gonna have me a big celebration
I'm giving up everything I thought was mine
If your love for him is stronger
Let's not drag it out much longer
I'm ahead if I can quit while I'm behind

Ain't got much left to hold on to
It ain't worth what I might go through
And this old heart of mine can't try much more of that
Drinking coffee at my learning
Your love won't be returning
I'm ahead if I can quit while I'm behind
I'll be ahead if I can quit while I'm behind
I'll be ahead if I can quit while I'm behind

You know I'd pull a gun on the way I feel
If I thought my heartaches would run
And if I put cotton wool in my ears long ago
I wouldn't know the life that I know now how
I'm ahead if I can quit while I'm behind

I'd write a song about something real funny
If I thought somebody might laugh
I'd write a song about a whole lot of money
If I thought I could get me some cash
I'd write a song about the trip I'm on
I wish I'd never taken L.U.V.
Love sure got me on a big fat bummer
And it sho'nuff working on me

I'm ahead if I can quit while I'm behind
I'll be ahead if I can quit while I'm behind
