Lyrics: Delbert McClinton. 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
