Lost Dog Street Band - Oblivion lyrics
[Lost Dog Street Band - Oblivion lyrics]
I’ve fallen short of any sympathy
And I’ve been pleading with God
To set me free
Lord I'm tired of all the human things
It’s time for me to leave
Oh I have tried and I have failed
And I have burned some bridges on my trail
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee
Lord, I’ve stumbled toward oblivion
But you followed me
Oh and the coyotes are always calling me
Oh with a mourning howl and cursed scream
And I feel their pain in everything
I believe that I was one of them
In some distant dream
Oh I have tried and I have failed
And I have burned some bridges on my trail
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee
I’ve stumbled toward oblivion
But you followed me
When the Lord made me, he made a loaded gun
And I have beat better men
That should have won
But when they’re pleading from mercy
From your right hand
I swear there’s not a single difference
Between a crook and an honest man
Oh I have tried and I have failed
And I have burned some bridges on my trail
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee
I’ve stumbled toward oblivion
But you followed me
