A steady run of one night stands From one town to the next How long has this been going on Can't even start to guess Most of the time I feel alright With the life I chose to lead Tonight I'm not myself at all So pardon me From Wichita to Arkansas And every mile in between A lady friend in every town Waiting for the phone to ring I know what you're thinking now And, yes, at times it's like a dream It's getting late and I'm awake So pardon me Pardon me if I cry Pardon me if you don't mind I wouldn't change a single thing As crazy as that seems Tonight if I should fall apart Pardon me
