Just thought I'd have a little fun and paint the town
I always said someday I'll walk the line
But now she's gone and I'm the bluest guy around
And that's not exactly what I had in mind
I thought that I could play the field and be a clown
I broke the heart that loved me many times
Yes I know that I'm the biggest fool in town
And that's not exactly what I had in mind
I didn't mean for things to get so out of hand
I always meant to make it up in time
But now she's gone she hates the very sight of me
And that's not exactly what I had in mind
I told myself go play around you're young and free
Too late I found that I was oh so blind
I lost the love I never did deserve at all
But that's not exactly what I had in mind
No that's not exactly what I had in mind
