I've Just Been Wasting My Time

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)



I've never been to China town never seen Frisco Bay

Ain't been to Dallas in the spring

Ain't got no pictures in my mind

I've spent the best years of my life here with you

I've just been wasting my time.



--- Instrumental ---



I've never owned a suit of clothes

Just barely could afford your ring

We got married awfully young

Just to live took every dime

It hurts to think that after all I've done for you

I've just been wasting my time.



--- Instrumental ---



No telling what I might have been

Had your love not tied me down

You don't say you want to leave

I know you do for I'm not blind

Any fool can see that you don't love me

I've just been wasting my time.



--- Instrumental ---



I've done by you as best I could

There's nothing else that I can do

Don't stay around because of me

Don't want you messin' up my mind

The best of me wasn't good enough for you

I've just been wasting my time...
