A long time ago,
if I'd taken it from a stranger,
I should have thought about that when I met you,
I should have run away from the danger.
I let your lies run dreams through my head
I let you have what you wanted,
an d now you 're gone
And you left me cussin' and
a -cryin' and a can -on
Can -on
By the way you hurt me
Can -on
I'm a bad mistake
Can -on
Well, I guess I have to keep on
carryin' on
Until they carry me home
when I'm dead from heartaches
Carryin' on, car ryin' on
You moved right in and took me
Cause you knew I was impressed
All the time I thought you
loved me yesterday
Now I know I was just another contest
But I'm, I'm a walkin' the floor,
thinkin' about you now
Wonderin' how I'm
make it without you
I've been a poor, poor, poor, poor fool
To let you do me wrong
To let you leave me cussin'
and a cryin' and a can -on
Can -on
By the way you hurt me
Can -on
And by my bad mistakes
Can -on
Well, I guess I have to keep on
Can -on
To the cannon, oh
when I'm dead from heartache
Cannon, can non
My, my, wait
You're gonna pay the price
You're gonna meet somebody
someday, somewhere
That's gonna make you think twice
You're gonna meet
yourself somebody
That's gonna turn you on
She'll leave you cussin'
and cryin' in a cannon
Cannon
By the way she hurts you
Cannon, by your bad mistakes
Cannon, but I guess you
have to keep on
Cannon, till they carry on
When I'm dead for my days
Cannon, by the way you hate me
Cannon, by my bad mistakes
Cannon, but I guess I have to keep on
Cannon, till they carry on
When I'm dead for my days
