My Failing Life

I took off

I'm bound for the border

Where I don't mind wasting my time

'Cause when I'm halfway out of town, there's a feeling I can't keep down

I'm most lonesome when I'm not away

It's a mystery to me the way things oughta be

But in my mind

I'm a child when the sun goes down

And I can't keep giving you the run around

Of my failing life

I'm at a loss for the words that you taught me

But I never thought 'em as a wasted life

And it never untrue the love between us two

But it was me who couldn't be there for you

It's a mystery to me the way things oughta be

But in my mind

I'm a child when the sun goes down

I can't keep giving you the run around

Of my failing life

It's a mystery to me the way things oughta be

But in my mind

I'm a child when the sun goes down

I can't keep giving you the run around

Of my failing life
