Can't Love Wrong Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

He is from the work of a Southern writer 

Where every man's a fighter 

Where the strong survive 

And the weak move north to rest 

And he had lines of silver 

And hands that delivered 

Me down to the river 

To drift away alone 

And I will never understand 

The heart of a lonely man 

Why my own wheels are gonna carry me 

Far from his gentle hands 

And baby, I can't come home 

Lord, I've been away now just too damn long 

And I can't love wrong 

No, I can't love wrong 

Late night when the bars are empty 

And my liquor's been plenty 

And the fiction read 

Rests heavy on my tongue 

I miss the sound of his dreaming 

I can't believe, I am leaving 

All that I ever wanted 

'Cause I can't love wrong 

And I will never understand 

The heart of a lonely man 

Why my own wheels are gonna carry me 

Far from his gentle hands 

And baby, I can't come home 

Lord, I've been away now just too damn long 

And I can't love wrong 

No, I can't love wrong 

Well, baby, I can't come home 

Lord, I've been away now just too damn long 

And I can't love wrong 

No, I can't love wrong 

Oh honey, I can't love wrong 

No, I can't love wrong
