One More Reason — текст песни (Bryant Richard)

Richard Bryant
I`d need a thousand reasons
To pack my trunk and leave this town behind
And since that woman put a man between us
I`m up to reason number nine hundred and ninety-nine
I know this town from way back
My friends are here. I know their children`s names
But circumstance is piling high around me
That gives me cause to think I`m in a losing game
Reasons one through twenty tell me that work here is scarce
Twenty-one through thirty deal with bad business affairs
Thirty-one through nine hundred and ninety-nine
Concern the above mentioned woman and a former friend of mine
One more reason at the most
Just one more reason and I`m ghost
One more reason and I`m gone
She was my heart`s desire
My blood would know whenever she came near
But I am a man of suspicious nature
They sent me a card from Kansas that served to confirm all my worst fears
Somebody drop their hat and I`ll be on my way
Somebody look at me funny and I will not stay
The heart has gone out of this town of mine
My friends are sympathetic but I`m feeling much maligned
One more reason at the most
Just one more reason and I`m ghost
One more reason and I`m gone
