Jimmy Buffett - When The Wild Life Betrays Me lyrics

When The Wild Life Betrays Me

By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley, Will Jennings

1984

Can't believe I'm still here

With the morning so near

And last night so unclear

I see a tremblin' 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

(instrumental)

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 till I'm strong

Or will you just hang up the phone

Coda:

When the wild life betrays me
