Lyrics Twist of Fate - Ray Wylie Hubbard

Twist of Fate

I got this girl in trouble
Somethin' I didn’t mean to do
But I done the right thing with the wedding ring
Then dropped out of school
I said goodbye to the cool rockin' cats
I sold my amp but not my Strat
A little twist of fate, things go like that
But when I’m burnin' in my head and I’m screaming at the night
all that’s left, man that can’t be right
And the deep river calls me from on the other side
It takes a little faith not to take that ride
Things got crazy and the marriage broke up
I guess it had to before it gone too far
Put on my suit and I went to the court
But Sherri got the house and the lawyer got the car
Judge gets my paycheck, my alibis
I get the pain and my kids gets the lice
Little twist of fate, somebody cried
But when I’m burnin' in my head and I’m screaming at the night
all that’s left, man that can’t be right
And the deep river calls me from on the other side
It takes a little faith not to take that ride
I look in the mirror and I got no reflection
My drink is cold but I taste the heat
And outside expensive comforts are walkin'
Not likin' the lyrics but lovin' the beat
I got some scars that no one can see
Some of them costly and some of them free
A little twist of fate, ah let it be
But when I’m burnin' in my head and I’m screaming at the night
all that’s left, man that can’t be right
And the deep river calls me from on the other side
It takes a little faith not to take that ride
But when I’m burnin' in my head and I’m screaming at the night
all that’s left, man that can’t be right
And the deep river calls me from on the other side
It takes a little faith not to take that ride
I ain’t gonna take that ride tonight
Oh no, I’m not gonna take that ride tonight
No no no, not tonight
