They Don’t Want Me

It was raining when I came passing through

I was trying to keep dry what could I do

There’s a long list of mothers that have warned their daughters I’d come around

To their town

I was trying to quit lying about my past I want to make things last

I’ve been shiftless I’ve been luckless some say worthless to be around

They don’t want me in their town

Well a pretty preacher’s daughter took me in

I swore I never taught her how to sin

There’s a long list of daughters that have lied to their mothers about me

Can’t you see

That I was trying to quit lying about my past I wan to make things last

I’ve been shiftless I’ve been luckless some say worthless to be around

They don’t want me in their town

Well all I could do was try to make a stand

I was up against the town and a preacher man

There’s a long of preachers with pretty restless wives that run away

So we left that day

I was trying to quit lying about my past I want to make things last

I’ve been shiftless I’ve been luckless some say worthless to be around

They don’t want me

No they don’t want me in their town
