Oblivion |
Well I am not the man I thought I’d be |
I’ve fallen short of any sympathy |
And I’ve been pleading with God to set me free |
Lord I’m tired of all the human things |
It’s time for me to leave |
Oh I have tried and I have failed |
And I have burned some bridges on my trail |
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee |
Lord, I’ve stumbled toward oblivion |
But you followed me |
Oh and the coyotes are always calling me |
Oh with a mourning howl and cursed scream |
And I feel their pain in everything |
I believe that I was one of them |
In some distant dream |
Oh I have tried and I have failed |
And I have burned some bridges on my trail |
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee |
I’ve stumbled toward oblivion |
But you followed me |
When the Lord made me, he made a loaded gun |
And I have beat better men that should have won |
But when they’re pleading from mercy from your right hand |
I swear there’s not a single difference |
Between a crook and an honest man |
Oh I have tried and I have failed |
And I have burned some bridges on my trail |
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee |
I’ve stumbled toward oblivion |
But you followed me |
