Dr. Dog - The Man Who Was Wrong lyrics

Lately, I've been cruel to my baby
She asks if I'm hers and I only say maybe
Playing the fool
Who knows nothing about love
I act like I doubt it
But, I'm nothing without it oooh

And if I should leave you darling you'd know
That I'm chasing the only game in town
That's running it'self right back
Into the ground and I won't be too old
When the story is told
Of a man, who was wrong

Because I know you belong in the church yard
Throwing flowers writing home on a postcard
And it's okay, to belong to the old times
Making crochet
Tying knots in the clothesline oooh

And if I should leave you darling you'd know
That I'm chasing the only game in town
That's running it'self right back
Into the ground and I won't be too old
When my story is told of a man
Who was wrong

Because he barks
Like a hound dog in moon light yes he barks
On and on but he don't bite
'Cause it don't pay
To stand up to the uptight it's the cowards
Who are fighting the good fight oooh

If I should leave you darling you'd know
That on that day when I'm not around
I must be asleep like the stone in the ground
And I'll be 100 years old
When my story is told of a man
Who was wrong

My soul breaks
And my heart stops it's beating and my body
Lies wounded and bleeding when the vultures
Start in on their feeding
And all of my seconds
Stop their constant repeating oooh

And if I should leave you where would I go?
There's only one other bed in this town
It sit's like a tree in a hole in the ground
I'll be a hundred years gone
But the story goes on of a man
Who was wrong i'll be a hundred years gone
And the story goes on of a man
Who was wrong
