did i ever tell you , the sorry tale of my life
did i ever mention i once had a wife
this sorry state i'm in was not how i was born
so may i tell you now how i became forlorn
instead of being truthful i would weave a tale
and in the end my better angels had to fail
one little lie yeah one little lie yeah
in me good lacks conviction while bad makes out ok
that evil wine that took my innocence away
was deep around the night my honesty would fail
instead of being truthful i would tell a tale
and really in the scheme of things
i'm not as bad as i would seem
and you ain't no angel - i don't see no wings on you
so before you cast another stone
try leaving leave well enough alone
take a look at your self
and criticize me then
i didn't really do nothing to you
and i wont do it again
