Lyrics When The Wild Life Betrays Me - Jimmy Buffett

When The Wild Life Betrays Me

Can’t believe I’m still here
With the morning so near
And last night so unclear
I see a tremblin' hand
And a gold wedding band
Wonder where do I stand
When the wild life betrays me And I’m too far from home
Will you be there to save me Will you shelter my heart 'til I’m strong
Or will you just hang up the phone
All my crazy old lies
And my worn out disguise
Turns to tears in your eyes
What a fool I have been
There’s no way I can win
Unless you take me back in When the wild life betrays me And I’m too far from home
Will you be there to save me Will you shelter my heart 'til I’m strong
Or will you just hang up the phone
(instrumental)
When the wild life betrays me And I’m too far from home
Will you be there to save me Will you shelter my heart till I’m strong
Or will you just hang up the phone
Coda:
When the wild life betrays me
