Mountain Of Regret

All my lifetime I've done wrong, never thinking I belonged
And my problems stay with me 'cause my thoughts lie with she
She was my girlfriend though I was mean, always there in my hour of need
I took for granted her gentleness and have to live without her sweet caress

And as I light me a cigarette, my heart is falling in my breast
And as I lie me down to rest, there's a mountain of regret

I turn my back on her true love, all my friends and the lord above
And my drinking dragged me down to the bars in Cabbage town

And as I light me a cigarette, my heart is falling in my breast
And as I lie me down to rest, there's a mountain of regret

And as I sit here feeling low, wondering why she had to go
I know I see through my disgrace, the perfect beauty of her face
And as I light me a cigarette, my heart is falling in my breast
And as I lie me down to rest, there's a mountain of regret
