a steady run of one night stands from one town to the next how long has this been going on can t even start to guess most of the time i feel alright with the life i chose to lead tonight i m not myself at all so pardon me from wichita to arkansas and every mile in between a lady friend in every town waiting for the phone to ring i know what you re thinking now and yes at times it s like a dream it s getting late and i m awake so pardon me pardon me if i cry pardon me if you don t mind i wouldn t change a single thing as crazy as that seems tonight if i should fall apart pardon me
