Dublin Blues
Guy Clark: 1995 EMI April Music Inc.

I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlor Bar,
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are.

But here I sit in Dublin,
Just rollin' cigarettes,
Holdin' back and chokin' back
The shakes with every breath.

I am just a poor boy,
Work's my middle name.
If money was a reason,
I would not be the same.

I'll stand up and be counted,
I'll face up to the truth,
I'll walk away from trouble,
But I can't walk away from you.

I have been to Fort Worth,
I have been to Spain,
I have been too proud,
To come in out of the rain.

I have seen the David,
I've seen the Mona Lisa, too,
I have heard Doc Watson,
Play Columbus Stockade Blues.

(REPREAT CHORUS)

(REPEAT FIRST PART OF VERSE 1)
