I wonder as I wander, out under the sky
How Jesus, our Savior, did come for to die
For poor, orn’nery people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky
Oh well I’m the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are, well, you know that I’m around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they’re all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don’t even know my name
They call me the wanderer, yeah the wanderer
I roam around around around
Well I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets
And little man, little Lola wants you
She don’t want him
She wants me
She don’t want him, not anymore (not anymore, no)
She came here with him
But she gon’ leave with me
She don’t want him not anymore, not anymore
We grew up together
We’ve been here forever
Barefoot in the summer
Cold in stormy weather
She taught me all there is
Like magic and love
Lots of forgotten words
But now she doesn’t live here anymore
I’m sorry, that’s all there is to it
I’m sorry, that’s all
Get up in the morning, look in the mirror
And one less toothbrush hanging in the stand, yeah
My face ain’t looking any younger
Now I can see love takin’ her toll on me
She’s gone, she’s gone
Oh I, oh I
I better learn how to face it
She’s gone, she’s gone
Oh I, oh I
I’d pay the devil to replace her
She’s gone, and she’s gone
Oh why, what went wrong?
I woke up this mornin’, feelin’ round for my shoes
Know ‘bout ‘at I got these, old walkin’ blues
Woke up this mornin’, feelin’ round for my shoes
But you know 'bout ‘at I, got these old walkin’ blues
Woke up this morning, my head was so bad
The worst hangover that I ever had
What happened to me last night?
This girl of mine, she loved me so right (yeah), oh
She loved me so long, and she loved me so hard
I finally passed out in her front yard (whoo)
It wasn’t wine that I had too much of
It was a double shot of my baby’s love (ah)
I woke up this morning, baby
I had you on my mind
I woke up this morning, baby
You know that I felt so fine
You know I need you
You know that I love you
This is my pledge of love to
My pledge of love
My pledge of love
Darlin’, darlin’, darling to you
Yeah, to you, yeah
My love, I’ll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words cannot explain
Precious love, you held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again
There’s a river flowing
By a willow tree
When you need to know
Remember me
My only love
My only love
Only Love
My only love
Don’t ever ask me why
I never say goodbye to my love
It’s understood
It’s everywhere with my love
And my love does it good, whoa!
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
What is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
You carry the lantern
I’ll carry you home
You search for the disappeared
I’ll bury the cold
Yours is a messiah
Mine is a dream and it won’t be long
No hope for the journey
If no-one ever sees the dawn
So come on, shake your rag doll, baby
Before you change your mind
Then come on, when the rapture takes me
Be the fallen angel by my side
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I’ll promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Did you ever have to make up your mind?
You pick up on one and leave the other behind
It’s not often easy and not often kind
Did you ever have to make up your mind?
Cuz no matter how you try to be kind
There’s always still a part of you you leave behind
When it falls apart
There’s no easy way to break somebody’s heart
Wheels turning around
Into alien grounds
Pass through different times
Leave them all behind
Trust to see
We’ve got so far to go
Until we get there
Just let it flow
