I left my woman Must've been out my mind I left my baby Left her crying all through the night Oh how I try Lord how I try I can't seem to get it right I miss my mama How I broke her sweet sweet heart I miss my papa I just couldn't play the part Lord how I wish Lord how I wish I could make a brand new start I hope someday I'll find a way To keep walking in the light And I try, lord how I try I can't seem to get it right I feel so lonesome I feel so lonesome I could cry Just me and the bottle babe It's just my way of killing time Oh how I try Lord how I try I can't seem to get it right Oh lord how I try Lord how I try Can't seem to get it right No, no, no Can't seem to get it right No, no, no Can't seem to get it right Can't seem to get it right
