Wandering Man

[Verse 1]
Walls keep falling while I look the other way
Never meant for hanging on
Told my lady that the bread was coming home
Lately all that bread is gone

[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "Oh, my, don't be shy
If you're sleeping in my bed
But don't mind coming by
If you don't bring home that bread"

[Chorus]
I said, "The good times are over
I can't get no relief
Mama, I'm broke down and lonely, on my knees
I never go easy, believe me
I'm always gonna hold the line
This wandering man got a hell of a plan
But he's running out of time"

[Verse 2]
I said to my bill collector, "Don't come knocking at my door
There ain't no money for you here
And if I had a single dollar to my name
Well, I'd go spend on my dear"

[Pre-Chorus]
And he says, "Oh, my, don't you try
To keep your money hid
Time keeps ticking by
I ain't playing with you, kid"

[Chorus]
I said, "The good times are over
I can't get no relief
Mama, I'm broke down and lonely, on my knees
I never go easy, believe me
I'm always gonna hold the line
But this wandering man got a hell of a plan
But he's running out of time"

[Bridge]
I can't hold this house of cards for long
I can't hold this house of cards for long, and long, and long
I can't hold this house of cards for long
I can't hold this
I can't hold it now

[Chorus]
The good times are over
I can't get no relief
Mama, I'm broke down and lonely, on my knees
I never go easy, believe me
I'm always gonna hold the line
This wandering man got a hell of a plan
But he's running out of time

[Outro]
Said this wandering man got a hell of a plan
But he's running out of time
This wandering man got a hell of a plan
But he's running out of time
