Lyrics
Wayside
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And how long has it been
Did I forget to lay it down too
Stroke out in a motel
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall
I got so much headache
I can't get you out of my mind
In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me alone
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
And how long have you known
that I forgot to lay you down too
Too much sun milk and honey
is that all that i really got?
I had so much money but not enough sense to make change
In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me when you leave me
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
Yeah
How about this
Entertaining myself
on such a selfish wish
I can't break this way though
I can't be this way though
And I feel like the same
Are you feeling the same?
Hey now
I'm a poor man
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall
I got so much headache
I can't get you out of my mind
In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
When I cry I don't mind if you leave me
when you leave me
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the way
