Story behind the song
This song wrote itself, I was playing around with the initial riff on the guitar at a time in my life when I once again found myself between lovers. The chorus says it all, " I coulda wrote this song for you but I'm tired of singin' the blues!"
Lyrics
Baby, why'd you treat me like a hound dog on a chain? All your quirkin' and a jerkin' babe is givin' my neck a pain. I tried to be so loyal, but I shoulda known from the start You only kept me 'round so you could keep a leash upon my heart. I gave you all my love, babe I tried to give a little bit more All you could show me was the way right through the door... And lovin' you's like ridin' on the devil's own carousel All those ups and downs and round and rounds and still I end up in hell You take me round in circles then you say you just wanna be friends Then you make me buy your ticket when you wanna take a ride again The calliope reminds me of the times I spent with you But I ain't reminiscin' 'cause baby, I know that we're through,... 'Coulda wrote this song for you, but I'm tired of singin' the blues! Well I coulda' loved you better, babe I coulda treat you like a queen And we coulda had a future if you hadn't been so goddamn'd mean But I ain't gonna cry, baby I ain't gonna weep or moan 'Cause while I find another you'll be spending your time alone! So don't expect to see me crawlin' back on my knees to you I'll be writin' songs, babe, for someone I know will be true 'Coulda wrote this song for you, but I'm tired of singin' the blues,...
