Wicked Ways

(альбом: Patty Loveless - 1986)

Well it's four in the morning
Rain is a pouring
When you stumble in drunk again
Soaked to the bone
When you find your way home
Hey baby, where you been
Had a few with the boys
Made a little noise
That's what you said to me
I shake my head
And help you up to bed
And wonder when I'll ever break free
From the hell you raised
When you gonna turn
From your wicked ways

I couldn't sleep, from worrying
And it's keeping me quite awake at night
Tossin and a turning praying and a yearning for the day
You'll see the light
Fighting and a putting
Lying and a hurting me
More than I ever planned
I used to be sad
But now I'm just mad
And I've taken more than
I will stand
From the hell you raised
When you gonna turn
From your wicked ways

No more grieving
Baby I'm leaving
I'm tired of the endless pain
Staying 'round here
With your women and your beer
Is slowly driving me insane

Oh I couldn't sleep
And worry it's a keeping me
Wide awake at night
Tossing and a turning
Praying and a yearning
For the day you'll see the light
Gave it my best shot
Found out you're not
Really even willing to try
What more can I do
I'm done putting up with you
And now I'm gonna say goodbye
To the hell you raise
When you gonna turn
From your wicked ways

Well I couldn't sleep
And worry it's keeping me
Wide awake at night
Tossing and a turning
Praying and a yearning
For the day you'll see the light
Gave it my best shot
Found out you're not
Really even willing to try
What more can I do
I'm done putting up with you
Now I'm gonna say goodbye
To the hell you raise
When you gonna turn
From your wicked ways

Oh the hell you raise
When you gonna turn
From your wicked ways
