Wandering Away Lyrics - Shine Eyed Mister Zen - Kelly Joe Phelps

will I shed one more tear for my broken family 

and have a glass of whiskey with another friend 

that has nowhere to be 

get my feet on the road they feel much better there 

gonna stop trying some day some year 

I meant it when I told her I loved her and I did 

and I meant when I said goodbye 

grabbed my suitcase and my kid 

we'll find another place to call home for a while 

oh I get to itching I don't know why 

wandering away 

the grey is coming the wrinkles aren't far behind 

more nights than not I think this is the one where I lose my mind 

maybe I can get it right this time 

maybe I can stay up most of tonight 

cause I don't want to see her come at me again reaching for my neck 

wandering away 

all these broken promises in a shoebox full of bones 

lie behind the crows feet eyes of anyone 

better when they roam 

whatever happens then falls under the wheel 

dancing to a fiddle tune with the devil on my heel 

wandering away 

my knees are wobbly my back keeps going out 

try to sing like a bird but all I can do is mumble and shout and moan 

wake up to another damn day 

wish I was magic I'd make it go away 

last night in a dream I saw her again I tried to scream but couldn't 

wandering away
