Вступление
- No capo -
Intro: Dm Am (repeat 8x)
Verse 1:
They say I got a wandering eye
It strays too far from the flock
Always going where the grass is greener
A skeleton key for each lock
You can be my judge and my jury
Condemn me to the soil and the Earth
Tied me to the end of four horses
Place a bet on which part goes first
Chorus:
Well here I slump at the end of some nowhere
My arm in a sling, and a thousand yard stare
Watching the boats there's family and friends
They won't come ashore if they have any sense
A wedding procession is moved from the church
I turned a good blessing into a bad curse
The coyotes and crows peck at my eye
To stop me from drifting away with the tide
Repeat Intro: 4x
Verse 2:
They say I got potential for violence
I can kill a man with my own bare hands
But I can't focus on anything
Let alone have a murderous plan
I remember when I first saw you
I couldn’t move I was paralyzed
I wondered if you would be the only one to
Put an end to my wandering eye
Chorus:
Well here I slump at the end of some nowhere
My arm in a sling, and a thousand yard stare
Watching the boats there's family and friends
They won't come ashore if they have any sense
A wedding procession is moved from the church
I turned a good blessing into a bad curse
The coyotes and crows peck at my eye
To stop me from drifting away with the tide
Bridge:
There’s no way that I can make it stop
I have fallen so far from the top
There's no doubt I'll never be like you
Stay in one place live the life you choose
Outro:
They say I got a wandering eye
It strays too far from the flock
Always going where the grass is greener
A skeleton key for each lock
