When The Wild Life Betrays Me Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

When The Wild Life Betrays Me 

By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley, Will Jennings 

1984 

Can't believe I'm still here 

With the morning so near 

And last night so unclear 

I see a tremblin' hand 

And a gold wedding band 

Wonder where do I stand

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

When the wild life betrays me 

And I'm too far from home 

Will you be there to save me 

Will you shelter my heart 'til I'm strong 

Or will you just hang up the phone 

All my crazy old lies 

And my worn out disguise 

Turns to tears in your eyes 

What a fool I have been 

There's no way I can win 

Unless you take me back in 

When the wild life betrays me 

And I'm too far from home 

Will you be there to save me 

Will you shelter my heart 'til I'm strong 

Or will you just hang up the phone

And I'm too far from home 

Will you be there to save me 

Will you shelter my heart till I'm strong 

Or will you just hang up the phone
