Soul Recovery

I'm off to find my soul Think I left down a hole Somewhere quarter mile from Tallahassee And if I don't come home And for fifty years I roam Someone oughta smile and kiss for me My sweetheart by the fire Who knows that I'm a liar Ain't no soul recovery in line for me Well I drank away the light Chasin' ghosts into the night With a flask and a song and a busted knee I heard the devil's choir By the swamp and razor wire Singin' hymns about a man I used to be There's a bible in my coat Full of things I never wrote And a prayer she whispered soft before I’d flee **(Chorus)** Tell her I was wrong Tell her she was strong Tell her all I ever wanted was to be Half the man she saw Behind my drunken drawl But the bottle and the wind had plans for me Ain’t no soul recovery in line for me Now the moon don't know my name And the stars ain't lit the same Since I traded love for liberty and sin But if I pass that way again With a smile and a regret Maybe she’ll forgive the mess I’ve been So if you see her light Through the pinewoods late at night Tell her I still hear her harmony **(Chorus)** Tell her I was wrong Tell her she was strong Tell her all I ever wanted was to be Half the man she saw Behind my drunken drawl But the bottle and the wind had plans for me Ain’t no soul recovery in line for me
