All my lifetime I've done wrong Never thinking I belonged And my problems stay with me 'Cause my thoughts lie with she She was my girlfriend though I was mean Always there in my hour of need I took for granted her gentleness And have to live without her sweet caress And as I light me a cigarette My heart is falling in my breast And as I lie me down to rest There's a mountain of regret I turn my back on her true love All my friends and the lord above And my drinking dragged me down To the bars in Cabbage town And as I light me a cigarette My heart is falling in my breast And as I lie me down to rest There's a mountain of regret And as I sit here feeling low Wondering why she had to go I know I see through my disgrace The perfect beauty of her face And as I light me a cigarette My heart is falling in my breast And as I lie me down to rest There's a mountain of regret
