Richard Bryant One More Reason
Richard Bryant I'd need a thousand reasons To pack my trunk and leave this town behind And since that woman put a man between us I'm up to reason number nine hundred and ninety-nine I know this town from way back My friends are here. I know their children's names But circumstance is piling high around me That gives me cause to think I'm in a losing game Reasons one through twenty tell me that work here is scarce Twenty-one through thirty deal with bad business affairs Thirty-one through nine hundred and ninety-nine Concern the above mentioned woman and a former friend of mine One more reason at the most Just one more reason and I'm ghost One more reason and I'm gone She was my heart's desire My blood would know whenever she came near But I am a man of suspicious nature They sent me a card from Kansas that served to confirm all my worst fears Somebody drop their hat and I'll be on my way Somebody look at me funny and I will not stay The heart has gone out of this town of mine My friends are sympathetic but I'm feeling much maligned One more reason at the most Just one more reason and I'm ghost One more reason and I'm gone
