Watchin’ over me when I was high Holdin’ my hand and wipin’ my eye Watchin’ me cheat, watchin’ me lie Oh watchin’ over me
Lookin’ back over on the damage I done Made no kind of plan to be carryin’ on Thought I might ought to been dead and gone I said oh the damage done
How’m I gonna pay that debt I owe Big red Jesus on the radio Down on my knees after the show I said oh the debt I owe
I learned my lesson again Well, I learned my lesson again Only one way to surrender Learned my lesson again Got to return it to sender Leave a little light in the window Got to remember my friend
Guess I got to say it’s a lovely day Nice enough to know it could ever be so Ready man, steady man, here I’m gonna go I said, oh, the lovely day
