[Verse 1]
I left my woman
Must've been out of my mind
I left my baby
Left her crying all through the night
Oh, how I try
Lord, how I try
I can't seem to get it right

[Verse 2]
I miss my mama
How I broke her sweet, sweet heart
I miss my papa
I just couldn't play the part
Oh, how I wish
Lord, how I wish
I could make a brand new start

[Bridge]
I hope someday
I find a way
To keep walking in the light
I try, lord how I try
I can't seem to get it right

[Verse 3]
I feel so lonesome
I feel lonesome, I could cry
Just me and the bottle, babe
It's just my way of killing time
Oh, how I try
Lord, how I try
I can't seem to get it right
Lord, how I try
Lord, how I try
I can't seem to get it right
[Outro]
No, no, no
(Can't seem to get it right)
No, no, no
(Can't seem to get it right)
(Can't seem to get it right)
