Lyrics This Wreck Of A Life - Sam Roberts
You
know
that
bad
luck
will
eat
you
up
When's
it
gonna
end?
I
twisted
everything
I
could
Out
of
words
In
real
life
my
colors
never
blend
When
I
was
a
boy,
I
said
to
myself
That
I'd
never
lean
on
anyone
else
Oh,
but
I
was
wrong
Yeah,
I
was
wrong
Then
my
mother
took
me
by
the
hands
and
then
Oh,
oh
how
I
prayed
That
the
good
Lord
would
come
and
take
me
away
From
this
mess
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
And
I
fell
to
my
knees,
oh,
and
I
cried
As
the
lightning
rose
up
from
the
earth
to
the
sky
In
this
wreck
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
In
this
mess
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
Come
on,
you
got
a
lot
to
give
A
lot
to
live
for
and
hope
it
all
gets
better
You
twisted
everything
you
can
Out
of
anything
I
know
it's
gonna
get
better
And
I'm
so
sick
and
tired
of
lying
around
We're
all
waiting
for
someone
to
light
up
this
town
Oh,
it
won't
be
long
It
won't
be
long
And
I
know
I
should
have
left
town
but
I
-
(Stayed)
Oh,
oh
how
I
prayed
That
the
good
Lord
would
come
and
take
me
away
From
this
mess
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
And
I
fell
to
my
knees,
oh,
and
I
cried
As
the
lightning
rose
up
from
the
earth
to
the
sky
In
this
wreck
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
In
this
mess
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
Oh,
and
it
feels
like
I'm
writing
a
book
and
I
can't
get
inspired
Sometimes
It
seems
that
I'm
breathing
in
smoke
and
my
lungs
are
so
tired
Oh
well
I'll
just
sleep
it
all
off
and
then
hope
that
it
don't
get
me
fired
And
I'm
asking
you
-
(Please)
Oh,
oh,
how
I
prayed
That
the
good
Lord
would
come
and
take
me
away
From
this
mess
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
And
I
fell
to
my
knees,
oh,
and
I
cried
As
the
lightning
rose
up
from
the
earth
to
the
sky
In
this
wreck
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
And
oh,
oh,
how
I
prayed
That
the
good
Lord
would
come
and
take
me
away
From
this
mess
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
And
I
fell
to
my
knees,
oh,
and
I
cried
As
the
lightning
rose
up
from
the
earth
to
the
sky
In
this
wreck
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
In
this
mess
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
In
this
wreck
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
In
this
wreck
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
In
this
mess
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
In
this
mess
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
(and
I
fell)
(To
my
knees)
In
this
wreck
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
In
this
wreck
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
In
this
wreck
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
In
this
wreck
of
a
life
that
I'm
in
