Against The Wall

(album: Southern Soul - 2013)

I used to think I love you's were just for fools
I never had time for that and besides I was way too cool
I burned up my younger years in an alcohol flame
I'm breaking all the rules of love and life and just playing the games

The life of a drifter ain't quite all it's cracked up to be
I find myself more and more on bended knees
Begging for forgiveness for the pain I might have caused
And fighting the devil with my back up against the wall

I must have broke a thousand hearts, or maybe two
I'd love and I'd leave em Lord and I'd find somebody new
Never realizing I was the victim all along
And I'd need a lifetime, Lord and lifetime trying to right all my wrongs

The life of a drifter ain't quite all it's cracked up to be
I find myself more and more on bended knees
Begging for forgiveness for the pain I might have caused
And fighting the devil with my back up against the wall

The life of a drifter ain't quite all it's cracked up to be
I find myself more and more on bended knees
Begging for forgiveness for the pain I might have caused
And fighting the devil with my back up against the wall
