Lyrics

They say I got a wandering eye
Strays too far from the flock
Always going where the grass is greener
Skeleton key for each lock
You can be my judge and my jury
Condemn me to the soil in the Earth
Tie 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
An arm in a sling and a thousand yard stare
Watching the boats full of family and friends
They won't come ashore if they have any sense
Wedding procession is moved from the church
I turned a good blessing into a bad curse
The coyotes and crows pick at my eye
To stop me from drifting away with the tide
They say I got potential for violence
I could 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
Couldn't move I was paralyzed
I wondered if you'd be the only one
To put an end to my wandering eye
Well here I slump at the end of some nowhere
Arm in a sling and a thousand yard stare
Watching the boats full of family and friends
They won't come ashore if they have any sense
A wedding procession is moved from the church
I turn a good blessing into a bad curse
The coyotes and crows pick at my eye
To stop me from drifting away with the tide
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
They say I got a wandering eye
Strays too far from the flock
Always going where the grass is greener
A Skeleton key for each lock
