Intro: (repeat 8x) verse 1: They say I got a wandering eye It strays too far from the flock Always going where the grass is greener A skeleton key for each lock You can be my judge and my jury Condemn me to the soil and the Earth Tied me to the end of four horses Place a bet on which part goes first Well here I slump at the end of some nowhere My arm in a sling, and a thousand yard stare Watching the boats there's family and friends They won't come ashore if they have any sense A wedding procession is moved from the church I turned a good blessing into a bad curse The coyotes and crows peck at my eye To stop me from drifting away with the tide Repeat Intro: 4x verse 2: They say I got potential for violence I can kill a man with my own bare hands But I can't focus on anything Let alone have a murderous plan I remember when I first saw you I couldn’t move I was paralyzed I wondered if you would be the only one to Put an end to my wandering eye Well here I slump at the end of some nowhere My arm in a sling, and a thousand yard stare Watching the boats there's family and friends They won't come ashore if they have any sense A wedding procession is moved from the church I turned a good blessing into a bad curse The coyotes and crows peck at my eye To stop me from drifting away with the tide Bridge: There’s no way that I can make it stop I have fallen so far from the top There's no doubt I'll never be like you Stay in one place live the life you choose End: They say I got a wandering eye It strays too far from the flock Always going where the grass is greener A skeleton key for each lock
