lyrics

Wild James

O no wild James / When you gonna change your no good ways?
Making crazy wine / you wont stop drinking / you wont stop lying
Lost all your money and your god damn mind

Mamma started crying when the telephone rang
At this hour it only means one thing
Daddy says he’ll accept the bill for a collect call
From the county jail / He’s not putting up bail

Like I said before you gotta change or don’t knock on my door
James / You say you’re on the street well your swinging a knife
I don’t want in between / O James

How you love the people that will fill your cup
You don't feel love when I say enough
You take my help you take my trust and you blame me
O James

Where’d you find a woman as bad as you
She gets tired she don’t get through
Don’t know what to do but get you out of jail / Get your name tattooed
Make a home for you

O no wild James / Are you happy? Are you in Pain?
I miss you when I hear your name / When you hear mine do you feel the same?
Do you burn with rage?
