If Ever I Stray

Forgive me, someone, for I have sinned

And I know not where I should begin

And some days it feels like you just can't win

No matter what you do or say

Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger

Life is short but it feels much longer

When you've lost the fight, yeah, you've lost that hunger

To pull yourself through the day

But if ever I stray from the path I follow

Take me down to the English Channel

Throw me in where the water is shallow

And then drag me out back to shore

'Cause love is free and life is cheap

As long as I've got me a place to sleep

Some clothes on my back and some food to eat

Then I can't ask for anything more

So come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4

So we all have secrets that we hold inside

Yeah the worst little things that you never confide

And the worst one of all that you just can't hide

Is that you're never quite as strong as you sound

So I'm sorry, baby, for the times I've hurt you

Sorry, friends, for the times I desert you

Most days it feels like I don't deserve you

And I wonder that you're still around

So if ever I stray from the path I follow

Take me down to the English Channel

Throw me in where the water is shallow

And then drag me out back to shore

'Cause love is free and life is cheap

But as long as I got me a place to sleep

Some clothes on my back and some food to eat

Then I can't ask for anything more

So come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4

Come on and join me in the water

And we'll swim for hope

Sometimes it's hard to remember

I couldn't do this on my own

So if ever I stray from the path I follow

Take me down to the English Channel

Throw me in where the water is shallow

And then drag me out back to shore

'Cause love is free and life is cheap

As long as I've got me a place to sleep

Clothes on my back and some food to eat

Then I can't ask for anything more

I won't ask for anything more

The path I chose isn't straight and narrow

It wanders around like a drunken fellow

Some days it's hard for me to follow

But if you've got my back, I'll go on

If you've got my back, I'll go on
