" Where Did I Go Wrong "

" Where Did I Go Wrong "

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

( Verse 1 )
I was just a young man, chasing dreams down a two lane road
Thought love would wait for me, while my restless spirit roamed
She begged me to slow down, said “home’s where you belong”
But I turned my back on her pleas  now I wonder where I went wrong

( Chorus )
Where did I go wrong, Lord, tell me tonight
Was it the whiskey, the cards, or the endless fights?
I lost the best thing I ever had, now I’m living all alone 
with my memories, asking where did I go wrong

( Verse 2 )
The house feels colder, since she walked out that door
Her picture on the mantle don’t smile at me no more
I see her with the children, in dreams that don’t last long
I wake to empty silence… and that same old question strong

( Chorus )
Where did I go wrong, Lord, tell me tonight
Was it the gambling, the lies, or my foolish pride?
I let her slip through my hands, and the nights are twice as long
I’m haunted by the echoes where did I go wrong

( Bridge )
I should’ve held her closer, when the storms rolled in
I should’ve told her “I love you,” again and again
Now it’s too late for sorry, too late to make it right
I’m left with only memories in the dark of night

( Final Chorus )
Where did I go wrong, Lord, tell me tonight
Was it the anger, the silence, that cut her deep inside?
She was my forever, but forever’s come and gone
Now I’m just a broken man asking where did I go wrong

( Outro )
Yeah, I’m just a broken man whisperin’ where did I go wrong…
