I'm Dyin' As Fast As I Can

She told me One time not long ago She said to get out and stay out And please don't ever speak to me no more Now I've been waitin' Like a blind man in the street Well, I'm not blind baby, baby I just can't see I said, "Honey, give me a chance To make it up to you I know I ain't been treatin' you Like I'm supposed to do" And whoa, these lonely nights Won't let me be I don't mind the pain, honey But I can't stand the misery I went down to a bar In my neighborhood Began to get drunk And man, I sure did good Now, here comes a big old stick With a policeman Well, don't hit me, no more mister I'm dyin' fast as I can Don't hit me, no more mister I'm dyin' fast as I can --- I'm Dyin' as Fast as I Can - Delbert McClinton
