Darling I been down and out ever since you left town
Well I ain't been the same, no matter how I try
Sometimes we don't get to choose, the ones who wear the walking shoes
I'm just a poor boy with the blues, no that ain't nothing new
I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup, I'm gonna pick me some banjo up
I'm gonna play with the Tragedies, singing good time harmonies
B. Wright don't you let me down, play that one called Sad Clown,
You know that one's about me, I been thinking about leaving town
Well sunshine she came out today, it don't matter anyways
'Cause I still see the water, and it's dripping down my door
I used to hear the children play, I used to hear the birds sing
One day they just stopped, and I don't hear them anymore
Repeat Chorus!
Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind, doing my best to regret these sins
Lord would you forgive me if you knew I'm gonna do it again?
And it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's just that I'm not strong
'Cause when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong
Repeat Chorus, overlap lyrics and get loud!
