Wandering Away - Kelly Joe Phelps

Will I shed one more tear for my broken family

And have a glass of whiskey with another friend

That has nowhere to be

Get my feet on the road they feel much better there

Gonna stop trying some day some year

I meant it when I told her I loved her and I did

And I meant when I said goodbye

Grabbed my suitcase and my kid

We’ll find another place to call home for a while

Oh I get to itching I don’t know why

Wandering away

The grey is coming the wrinkles aren’t far behind

More nights than not I think this is the one where I lose my mind

Maybe I can get it right this time

Maybe I can stay up most of tonight

Cause I don’t want to see her come at me again reaching for my neck

Wandering away

All these broken promises in a shoebox full of bones

Lie behind the crows feet eyes of anyone

Better when they roam

Whatever happens then falls under the wheel

Dancing to a fiddle tune with the devil on my heel

Wandering away

My knees are wobbly my back keeps going out

Try to sing like a bird but all I can do is mumble and shout and moan

Wake up to another damn day

Wish I was magic I’d make it go away

Last night in a dream I saw her again I tried to scream but couldn’t

Wandering away
