Don't Wait Lyrics & Chords By Buddy Miller

(Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale)

well i been so wrong
brought lots of suffering on
and it's been so long
since i walked right and strong
just look at me so lost and weak
heed my warning when this fool speaks

well i hate to see your sun sinking down
and the path you take while you're losing ground
there's precious time to change your ways
don't drag along while it's getting late

don't wait don't wait
don't wait it's late
don't wait don't wait
don't wait don't wait don't wait don't wait

temptation will rust
crawls in with the fog
eats away at your trust
mean as a wild pack of dogs
uses you up throws your life away
don't let it win for another day

don't wait don't wait
don't wait it's late
don't wait don't wait
don't wait don't wait don't wait don't wait

now i'm praying for strength
to get one last try
from mercy's cup to drink
before it's time to die
and all the wicked they best
start to change their ways
