Jimmy Buffett - When The Wild Life Betrays Me Lyrics

Jimmy Buffett Lyrics

"When The Wild Life Betrays Me"

Can't believe I'm still here
With the morning so near
And last night so unclear
I see a trembling hand
And a gold wedding band
Wonder, where do I stand?

When the wild life betrays me
And I'm too far from home
Will you be there to save me?
Will you shelter my heart 'til I'm strong?
Or will you just hang up the phone?

All my crazy old lies
And my worn-out disguise
Turns to tears in your eyes
What a fool I have been
There's no way I can win
Unless you take me back in

When the wild life betrays me
And I'm too far from home
Will you be there to save me?
Will you shelter my heart 'til I'm strong?
Or will you just hang up the phone?

When the wild life betrays me
And I'm too far from home
Will you be there to save me?
Will you shelter my heart 'til I'm strong?
Or will you just hang up the phone?
