Where everyman's a fighter
Where the strong survive
And the weak move north to rest
He had lines of silver and hands that delivered
Me down the river
To drift away alone
[Chorus:]
I will never understand the heart of a lonely man
And why my own wheels are gonna carry me
Far from his gentle hands
Baby, I can't come home
I've been away now just too damn long
Oh, and I can't love wrong
No I can't love wrong
Late night when the bars are empty
And my liquor's been plenty
And the fiction read
Rests heavy on my tongue
I miss the sound of his dreaming
I can't believe I am leaving
All that I ever wanted
Because I can't love wrong
He is from the work of a Southern writer Where everyman's a fighter Where the strong survive And the weak move north to rest He had lines of silver and hands that delivered Me down the river To drift away alone [Chorus:] I will never understand the heart of a lonely man And why my own wheels are gonna carry me Far from his gentle hands Baby, I can't come home I've been away now just too damn long Oh, and I can't love wrong No I can't love wrong Late night when the bars are empty And my liquor's been plenty And the fiction read Rests heavy on my tongue I miss the sound of his dreaming I can't believe I am leaving All that I ever wanted Because I can't love wrong Explain Request ×
