I Can't Go Home Like This

Ray Price

Lyrics

There's too much lipstick on my collar

I'm spent down to my last whole dollar

Too late now to gripe and holler

'Cause I can't go home like this

My tongue gets so heavy when I try to talk

My legs turn to jelly when I try to walk

It's closing time but I'll have to balk

I just can't go home like this

Well my baby told me when I left home

She said I'll give you your last warning

You better be home by a quarter to eight

And I don't mean tomorrow morning

My eyes are red my head's in a spin

Look what an awful shape I'm in

I done slipped up and I've done it again

I can't go home like this

Well my baby told me when I left home

She said I'll give you your last warning

You better be home by a quarter to eight

And I don't mean tomorrow morning

Well my eyes are red my head is in a spin

Look what an awful shape I'm in

I done slipped up and I've done it again

I can't go home like this

I'm as loose as a goose and high as a kite

Ain't it a shame ain't I a sight

I guess I'll have to sleep in the attic tonight

'Cause I can't go home like this
