I'm Ahead If I Can Quit While I'm Behind

I'm sendin' out invitations

Gonna have me a big celebration

Ooh, I'm givin' up everything I thought was mine

And if her love, Lord, for him is stronger

Why drag this thing out much longer

I'll be ahead if I can quit while I'm behind

I'm ahead if I can quit while I'm behind

Ain't got much left here to hang onto

I don't think it's worth the change that she's puttin' me through

Oh, this old heart just don't need to beat like this

And if her love for him is stronger

Let's not drag love out no longer

I'll be ahead if I can quit while I'm behind

I'll be ahead if I can quit while I'm behind

Well, I'd write a song about something real funny

If I thought everybody would laugh

I'd write a song about a whole lot of money

If I thought it would bring me some cash

I'd write a song about the trip I've been on

I wish I'd never taken L-U-V

It's got me feelin' funny and dewey, honey

It just keeps on workin' on me

I'm ahead if I can quit while I'm behind

I'm ahead if I can quit while I'm behind
