Lord won't you help me cos I think this is the end
I can't believe the state you've left me in and it's doing in my head
I didn't sleep a wink last night for all the whisky drinking that I did
And I no longer look or feel or can pretend that I'm a younger man
Deep down I'm a decent man don't mean to be this way
Don't mean to carry round these sins don't mean to go astray
I'm counting down the days that I'm no longer on the road so baby
Won't you take me home
Won't you take me home
Lord won't you show me where my future lies
This town is closing in on me won't set me free I drink I smoke I cry
But there's a piece of dirt where I'll find peace and she will find a bed
And I will keep myself from all my weaknesses by working on the land
Deep down I'm a decent man don't mean to be this way
Don't mean to carry round these sins don't mean to go astray
I'm counting down the days that I'm no longer on the road so baby
Won't you take me home
Won't you take me home
Lord do you hear me can you lend an ear
Are you really what you say you are or am I running from my fears
But I've been doing things and seeing things that cannot be undone
And lately I've been feeling like I'm starting down the barrel of a gun
Deep down I'm a decent man don't mean to be this way
Don't mean to carry round these sins don't mean to go astray
I'm counting down the days that I'm no longer on the road so baby
Won't you take me home
Won't you take me home
Take me home
Won't you take me home
