Here I sit all alone in this barroom Any other Friday night I would be home But I nearly lost my whole week's check on a horse named can't-go-wrong No I don't think I've a courage to go home For my little girl's been waiting for that new dress with pretty bows And I promised Johnny he could spend the evening at the show Not to mention my sweet Mary could be worried sick cause I'm still gone But I don't think I've a courage to go home [ fiddle ] I left that track with just five dollars in my pocket Just enough to drown my troubles I've been told But if the strenght I'm needin' don't come from this bottle that I hold I don't think I'll have a courage to go home For my little girl's been waiting... No I don't think I've a courage to go home
