BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Don't Wait

(Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale)



Well I been so wrong

Brought lots of suffering on

And it's been so long

Since I walked right and strong

Just look at me so lost and weak

Heed my warning when this fool speaks



Well I hate to see your sun sinking down

And the path you take while you're losing ground

There's precious time to change your ways

Don't drag along while it's getting late



Don't wait don't wait

Don't wait it's late

Don't wait don't wait

Don't wait don't wait don't wait don't wait



Temptation will rust

Crawls in with the fog

Eats away at your trust

Mean as a wild pack of dogs

Uses you up throws your life away

Don't let it win for another day



Don't wait don't wait

Don't wait it's late

Don't wait don't wait

Don't wait don't wait don't wait don't wait



Now I'm praying for strength

To get one last try

From mercy's cup to drink

Before it's time to die

And all the wicked they best

Start to change their ways
