| All my lifetime I’ve done wrong, never thinking I belonged
|
| And my problems stay with me 'cause my thoughts lie with she
|
| She was my girlfriend though I was mean, always there in my hour of need
|
| I took for granted her gentleness and have to live without her sweet caress
|
| And as I light me a cigarette, my heart is falling in my breast
|
| And as I lie me down to rest, there’s a mountain of regret
|
| I turn my back on her true love, all my friends and the lord above
|
| And my drinking dragged me down to the bars in Cabbage town
|
| And as I light me a cigarette, my heart is falling in my breast
|
| And as I lie me down to rest, there’s a mountain of regret
|
| And as I sit here feeling low, wondering why she had to go
|
| I know I see through my disgrace, the perfect beauty of her face
|
| And as I light me a cigarette, my heart is falling in my breast
|
| And as I lie me down to rest, there’s a mountain of regret |
