Lyrics of I finally gave her enough rope to hang

I never told her the what not to do's i'm just not tyin' down kind
I've thought i could hold her much closer to me by giving her freedom a mind
I figured someday that she would outgrow her flare for the flirtin' and flinging
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she's still out there swinging
I never tried into the where's and the why's no matter what time she came in
While i thought she was out playin' bridge with the girls
She was out playin' games with the men
Too late i discovered she had too much slack like a fool to a dream i'm still clinging
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she's still out there swinging
( guitar )
Now here i sit with the why do i do's while she's running round wild and free
I tried to give her a mind of her own but she couldn't keep it on me
Now just like a fool i still sit here at home and wait by a phone that's my bringing
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she's still out there swinging
I finally gave her enough rope to hang her and she's still out there swinging
