Smarter Than I Was - Buddy Guy

Wind is howling

I’m all alone

Sitting by the fire

But I can’t get warmer

Been 9 cold nights

She ain’t coming home

She took my soul to the darker side

But halfway there

I done got wise

9 cold nights

Time to say goodbye

I guess my best

Just wasn’t good enough

I may not look it

But I’m smarter than I was

Dogs are barking

In the midnight rain

Thunder and lightning

To know this pain

9 cold nights

But tonight it’s gonna change

I guess my best

Just wasn’t good enough

I may not look it

But I’m smarter than I was

Burn them memories

Like gasoline

It’s time I learned

To wipe it clean

Tonight your mine

No longer haunting me

I guess my best

Just wasn’t good enough

I may not look it

But I’m smarter than I was

I may not look it

But I’m much smarter than I was
