about

One of the most popular Wasted Wine songs to date, a man admits his guilt and wishes he could transport to a better time.

lyrics

I broke your heart
but it must be known.
It really wasn’t very easy.
I didn’t do it alone.
And I admit it didn’t please me
that you should know the reasons why.
You played your part
when you should’ve just lied.

And I can’t help but think that it seemed suspicious
you always wore a cross but you never were religious.
Wasn’t I vicious? Wasn’t I cruel? 20 thousand dollars and they send you back to school.
Now isn’t that justice a penny for your pain?
All of my wives come slingin’ that cane.
Where do we go mane? I don’t even know.
Take me back to Heaven where the streets are paved with gold.

I needed cash
but as you saw.
It was exceptionally crucial;
It wasn’t for a good cause.
And I was never one for scruples
Yo, I was never one for pride.
I was running from the lash
when I shoulda just lied.

(Chorus)

We lived like kings.
You were as tender as a rose.
When the deal went down,
hell, you were payin’ out the nose.
I didn’t want your crown.
I doesn’t matter what you’ve heard.
I didn’t really even say them things.
I only said those words.

(Chorus) x2
