[Verse 1]
Here we are standing in the morning light
No good way to say goodbye
Anyway, I've got too many miles to make
So I ain't even gonna try
I sure am sorry about your broken heart
Wish I could help ya out somehow
Sure didn't mean to do you wrong
But you oughta know me by now
[Verse 2]
There ain't a dusty road in Texas
This old boy ain't traveled down
Guess you've been dreamin' 'bout a bunch of kids
A picket fence in some small town
Hey I was born the ramblin' kind
Home sweet home I've never found
Wish I could stay and love you right
But you oughta know me by now
[Chorus]
You outta know me by now, babe
Find a way to understand
I know your mama tried to warn you, honey
About the kind of man I am
I didn't mean to let you down
But you oughta know me by now
[Verse 3]
So let's just drink a little coffee
I'll help you hang your sheets out in the wind
Don't you know, sweetheart, the chances are
I'll come blowin' through again
I'll load up that old guitar of mine
Hit the highway headed south
Who knows when I'll turn up
You oughta know me by now
[Chorus]
You oughta know me by now, babe
Find a way to understand
I know your mama tried to warn you, honey
About the kind of man I am
I didn't mean to let you down
But you oughta know me by now
You oughta know me by now
You oughta know me by now
