lyrics

spoke to a ramblin ghost last night
sat at the bar on the edge of the hazy light
there was no life left in his eyes
he said to me life was unfair
ran his wrinkled fingers through
his grey and thinning hair and shouted,
"Why? Oh Lord I tried, I really tried,
to be a good man on the outside
oh Lord I tried, to do whats right
but this poison ate me up from inside.
She was my wife, my shining light.
I had too much to drink and she was
alone the night she died.
I threw away our living days,
with a mind set on the bottle
I wish to God I'd just fade away.
And I ask him
Why? Oh Lord I tried, I really tried,
to be a good man on the outside
oh Lord I tried, to do whats right
but this poison ate me up from inside.
Let me tell you son,
if she's the one,
then you put down that glass and you go on home
let me tell you son, you know this girl is the one
so buy me another round and get your ass on home."
