Lover Gone Wrong

HARP INTRO

Well, I've made it this far
Never lovin' no one
Least of all lovin', lovin' myself
And I've come to mistrust
In the look of the sun
But I've faith in, faith in the liquor store shelf. 

Well, I've watched them all sleep
From a chair 'cross the room
And wondered, wondered what's missin' in me
What they need in a man
I can only assume
Is somethin', somethin' that I'll never be. 

CHORUS
And I've gotten so much
From souls 'long the way
For a laugh or a smile or a drink or a song
And I wish that I knew
Why my heart never stays
They say I'm a lover, a lover gone wrong.

GUITAR SOLO

No need to be sad
'Bout the fate that I bear
Though, now and then, it brings me down, down, down
'Cause I'm all I can be
And all I can share
'Til the day they lay me down in the ground. 

So I'll lay 'neath the stars
While they visit their dreams
Of gentle young men with hearts of gold
And for their sake, I hope
They're all that they seem
As I make my way on down the road. 

CHORUS
And I've gotten so much
From souls 'long the way
For a laugh or a smile or a drink or a song
But I wish that I knew
Why my heart never stays
I guess I'm a lover, a lover gone wrong.
