Wandering Away

will I shed one more tear for my broken family
 and have a glass of whiskey with another friend
 that has nowhere to be
 get my feet on the road they feel much better there
 gonna stop trying some day some year
 I meant it when I told her I loved her and I did
 and I meant when I said goodbye
 grabbed my suitcase and my kid
 we'll find another place to call home for a while
 oh I get to itching I don't know why
 wandering away
 the grey is coming the wrinkles aren't far behind
 more nights than not I think this is the one where I lose my mind
 maybe I can get it right this time
 maybe I can stay up most of tonight
 cause I don't want to see her come at me again reaching for my neck
 wandering away
 all these broken promises in a shoebox full of bones
 lie behind the crows feet eyes of anyone
 better when they roam
 whatever happens then falls under the wheel
 dancing to a fiddle tune with the devil on my heel
 wandering away
 my knees are wobbly my back keeps going out
 try to sing like a bird but all I can do is mumble and shout and moan
 wake up to another damn day
 wish I was magic I'd make it go away
 last night in a dream I saw her again I tried to scream but couldn't
 wandering away
