Sure as death and taxes

As sure as death and taxes I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna come and get you from the wrong side of the track
Gonna make you realize you're still in love with me
Sure as death and taxes wait and see

Well they say that death and taxes are the only things they're certain
Death and taxes ain't the reason my poor heart is hurtin'
One I love just left and left me lonely and blue
So there's just one thing left for me to do

As sure as death and taxes I'm gonna get you back...

[ guitar - steel ]
I pay the taxes till my full pocketbook is hurtin'
When I get to all the pay I know I'll die for certain
But in this crazy life of strife is one thing that I claim
That's a woman that still wears my name

As sure as death and taxes I'm gonna get you back...
Just as sure as death and taxes wait and see
