I Finally Gave Her Enough Rope To Hang 歌詞

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 tried 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 [ guitar ] 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
