Don’t Let Me Stray

There were times I had to lie
There were times I had to steal
And there were times I had to cry
There were times I couldn't feel
Oh lord, keep me away
Oh lord, don't let me stray

Officer, I swear I'm behaving here
Just drinking rain water and Everclear
You gotta understand that I'm running on empty
You can take me to jail, but please don't
Take my bottle away from me

There were times I had to fight
There were times I had to cheat
There were times I had no right
There were times I couldn't eat
Oh lord, keep me away
Oh lord, don't let me stray

Officer, I swear I'm behaving here
Just haven't eaten in what seems like a year
You gotta understand that I'm running on empty
You can take me to jail, and please just
Take my hunger away from me
