lyrics

Kind of Life (Wayward)
I cut my losses and took the bus alone
Lost all my friends and my sweet girl, no place to rightly call my home
I’m not too sure what happened, but I heard that I was there
The night before I awoke in a holding cell, with blood dried in my hair
Felt like I didn’t need another day, said “Lord, I think I’m about ready to go”
He says “Son, you’ve been goin’ all the wrong ways”
Well I guess He had to show me for me to know

It’s high time I pick up my Bible, and put down the bottle
Better clean up my talkin’, and straighten out my walkin’
Set the pipe to the side, so to air out my mind
You see I done been had by that wayward kind of life

Goodbye to the City of Fountains, hello Great Smokey Mountains
Everything that I’ve lost, well it ain’t worth another tear
Gotta rest for awhile, try rememberin’ how to smile
Gonna find me a good job and save up for a career
And all the ways that I have hurt you, those were things that I never chose to do
I think that I, I just might never love another,
Oh but a nice southern girl may be waitin’ for me somewhere, yeah

In the meantime, gonna pick up my Bible, and put down the bottle
Better clean up my talkin’, and straighten out my walkin’
Set the pipe to the side, so to air out my mind
You see I done been had by that wayward kind of life

Well it’s high time I pick up my Bible, and put down that bottle
Better clean up my talkin’, and straighten out my walkin’
Set the pipe to the side, I gotta air out my mind
You see I done been had by that wayward kind of life
Kind of life, yeah yeah
