[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sittin in a barroom countinâ my dough
runnin out of money and places to go
Sittin in a barroom drunk at night
wonât get to sleep til the first daylight
[Chorus]
Baby can I crawl back to you
baby can I crawl back to you
[Verse 2]
Goin to the bus station nothin in my hand
gonna buy a ticket goin to the promised land
I oughta be arrivin in a day or two
the bus might leave me can I come back to you
[Chorus]
Baby can I crawl back to you
baby can I crawl back to you
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Sittin in a jail house countinâ my dough
ran out of money but I got a place to go
I oughta be leavin in a day or two
get myself together can I come back to you
[Chorus]
Baby can I crawl back to you
baby can I crawl back to you
[Verse 4]
Got me some insurance paid another prem
jump in a river and I might learn to swim
might learn to swim but I just might drown
I got that insurance paid plumb down
[Chorus]
Turn it all over to you
Baby can I crawl back to you
Turn it all over to you
Baby can I crawl back to you
[Outro]
