Wayward Path Lyrics

With a troubled mind and a shadowed past
And a conscious always late
I cut like a buck knife
Through the night
Hidin' through the day

A sullied past of evil deeds sneakin' up from behind
Before my sins overtake me
I'll turn around and find

The wayward path, the wayward path
As far as I can see
The wayward path, the wayward path
The only life for me

My destiny is painted wrong
And I can't do no right
I keep hearin' that same ol' song
Mornin', noon and night

I can't help the feelin' I'm runnin' from the noose
The angels tried to save me and the devil makes me choose

The wayward path, the wayward path
As far as I can see
The wayward path, the wayward path
The only life for me


Don't you know it's a wayward path, the wayward path
As far as I can see
It's the wayward path, the wayward path
The only life for me
The wayward path, it's a wayward path
The only life for me
