Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] A sullied past of evil deeds sneakin' up from behind Before my sins overtake me I'll turn around and find [Chorus] The wayward path, the wayward path As far as I can see The wayward path, the wayward path The only life for me [Verse 2] My destiny is painted wrong And I can't do no right I keep hearin' that same ol' song Mornin', noon and night [Pre-Chorus 2] I can't help the feelin' I'm runnin' from the noose The angels tried to save me and the devil makes me choose [Chorus] The wayward path, the wayward path As far as I can see The wayward path, the wayward path The only life for me [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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
