The Man Who Was Wrong

[Verse 1] Lately, I've been cruel to my baby She asks if I'm hers And I only say maybe Playing the fool Who knows nothing about love I act like I doubt it But I'm nothing without it Oooh [Chorus] And if i should leave you Darling you'd know That I'm chasing the only game in town That's running itself right back into the ground And I won't be too old When the story is told Of a man, who was wrong [Verse 2] Because I know You belong in the church yard Throwing flowers Writing home on a postcard And its okay, to belong to the old ties Making crochet, tying knots in the clothesline Oooh [Chorus] [Verse 3] Because he barks Like a hound dog in moon light Yes he barks On and on but he don't bite Well it don't pay To stand up to the old days It's the cowards Who are fighting the good life Oooh [Chorus] [Verse 4] My soul breaks And my heart stops its beating And my body Lies wounded and bleeding When the vultures Start in on their feeding And all of my seconds Stop their constant repeating Oooh [Chorus] And if I should leave you Where would I go? There's only one other bed in this town It sits like a tree in a hole in the ground I'll be a hundred years gone But the story goes on Of a man, who was wrong I'll be a hundred years gone And the story goes on Of a man, who was wrong
