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
