Recorded live - second take.

lyrics

There’s somethin’ wrong with the chemicals
I should be sideways and outta’ my mind, outta’ my mind
Instead I’m feelin’ the temperature
And it’s starting to feel like a sign, from the pines
There’s nothing wrong with this world, that I ain’t tried

I used to be the man that my momma made
But now I ain’t, don’t you think I tried, I tried
I never met a lust that I can’t persuade
To take me out for a mighty fine time, a mighty fine time
There’s nothing wrong with this world, I ain’t tried

I know I been a real bad boy
I see the sins I’ve committed
I feel the flame callin’ me ahoy
To take this life back before I quit it

There used to be a hand to hold on to
That’s when I was the marryin’ kind, the marryin’ kind
Out the window with my dreams and the wind that blew
I ain’t ever saved a dime, in my life
There’s nothing wrong with this world, that I ain’t tried
There’s nothing wrong with this world, I ain’t tried

I know I been a real bad boy
I see the sins I’ve committed
I feel the flame callin’ me ahoy
To take this life back before I quit it

I know I been a real bad boy
I see the sins I’ve committed
I feel the flame callin’ me ahoy
To take this life back before I quit it
