Twist Of Fate

(album: Lost Train Of Thought - 1992)

I got this girl in trouble
Something 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 rocking cats
I sold my amp but not my Strat
A little twist of fate, things go like that

But when I'm burning 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 burning 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 walking
Not liking the lyrics but loving 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 burning 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 burning 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
