Wayward and Down

Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down

I can't help falling wayward and down

Sweet is the apple, dark is the town

I can't help falling wayward and down

Born under the sign of original sin

Born into this mess of a shape that i'm in

Never had no one to show me around

Just made my own way wayward and down

Heaven's the next town with a girl and a bar

Never followed me any particular star

They say i aimlessly wander, but i've always been bound

The exact same direction - wayward and down

Beneath me the devil on a lily-white mare

Beside me a girl with black bows in her hair

Above angels plead in a sweet clear sound

That disappears on the way wayward and down

I guess i'll be going, the whiskey's all gone

The crows will give Lola my message at dawn

If she gets lost and lonely i'm easily found

Just take the straight and narrow wayward and down
