This Wreck Of A Life - Sam Roberts

You know that bad luck will eat you up

When’s it gonna end?

I twisted everything I could

Out of words

In real life my colours never blend

When I was a boy I said to myself

That I’d never lean on anyone else

Oh, but I was wrong

Yeah I was wrong

And my mother took me by the hands and then

Oh, oh how I prayed

That the good Lord would come and take me away

From this mess of a life that I’m in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky

In this wreck of a life that I’m in

In this mess of a life that I’m in

Come on you got a lot to give

A lot to live for

And hope it all gets better

You twisted everything you can out of anything

I know it’s gonna get better

And I’m so sick and tired of lying around

We’re all waiting for someone to light up this town

Oh, it won’t be long

It won’t be long

And I know I should have left town but I stayed

Oh how I prayed

That the good Lord would come and take me away

From this mess of a life that I’m in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky

In this wreck of a life that I’m in

In this mess of a life that I’m in

Oh and it feels like I’m writing a book and I can’t get inspired

Sometimes

It seems that I’m breathing in smoke and my lungs are so tired

Oh well

I’ll just sleep it all off and then hope that it don’t get me fired

And I’m asking you please

Oh oh how I prayed

That the good Lord would come and take me away

From this mess of a life that I’m in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky

In this wreck of a life that I’m in

And oh how I prayed

That the good Lord would come and take me away

From this mess of a life that I’m in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky

In this wreck of a life that I’m in

In this mess of a life that I’m in

In this wreck of a life that I’m in

In this wreck of a life that I’m in

In this mess of a life that I’m in

In this mess of a life that I’m in'
