LYRICS
I should've quit you
A long time ago
I should've quit you, babe
A long time ago
I should've quit you
And went on to Mexico
If I had've followed
My first mind
If I had've followed
My first mind
I'd been gone
Since my second time
I should've went on
When my friend come from Mexico at me
I should've went on
When my friend come from Mexico at me
But no, I'm fooling with you, baby
I let you put me on the killing floor
Lord knows
I should've been gone
Lord knows
I should've been gone
And I wouldn't've been here
Down on the killing floor
