The Gospel According To George
Here stands the man, who lived to tell it all
Yes I've spilled a lot of money Now some may think that's funny But what's the use, if you cannot spend And yes I hate the daylight And to look upon those I've not treated right Who've seen my dark side, but I can't make amends
You only came back so you could leave Me for good, but why deceive me Those lies are something you cannot defend And all those times that you cheated When I thought we had it beaten You always seemed to hurt me in the end
But I always seemed to make just by curtain Yes always seemed to make it around 9 Though I've cut it close a thousand times I never once doubted my mind That I would always make it to the end
Old whiskey, loud music, young women Have kept these eyes from dimming They're still in my present, not just in my past
I've used them all for my protection Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Steel plated from rejection And I viewed it all from the bottom of a glass
You lived to tell to it all but how you hurt us You lived to tell it all but why desert us Well you swam too long in scarlet waters You drowned a son and lost a daughter And many more who never made it to the end
I'm tarnished by my history The very thing that made me… the strongest man with a will to conquer all
And those that fell by the wayside The ones who lived like you, but died, So week, all you could do was watch them fall
I was a sailor on the tarmac sea For too many years, I agree There are questions I'm still not wise enough to answer
Just wise enough to no longer ask Don't dig too deep into the past You know it'll only hurt you in the end You know it'll only kill you in the end
