In My Life If I Had Possession Lyrics & Chords By Gov't Mule

"In My Life"
I can't save you - but I can talk you down
I can hold you - but I won't watch you drown
In my life - things have a way of growing downward
And I don't know if I can watch myself be a coward
Again
I don't know you like I thought I did
But I will show you things that I kept hid
In my life - I've always been the one that had to ruin things
So I don't know - is some dark angel pulling on my heart strings
Again
In my life - things have a kind of ragged beauty
And I don't seem to know right from wrong
Or so they say - unless it's happening to me
People change - I don't know what for
Strangers walking in and out my door
Something's got to change - the past just hangs here to remind me
That one of these mornings - I'll reach for you
And find me
I have told you - I won't watch you drown
I can't save you - but I will be around
"If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day"
If I had possession over judgment day
If I had possession over judgment day
All these women I've loved would have no right to pray
I went up on the mountain, far as my eye can see
I went up on the mountain, far as my eye can see
Another man got my woman - lonesome blues got me
Well I folded my arms, slowly walked away
Well I folded my arms, slowly walked away
In my mind, in my mind - gonna be trouble some day
Well I rolled and I tumbled - cried the whole night long
Well I rolled and I tumbled - cried the whole night long
When I woke up this morning - my biscuit roller gone
Well come on here mama - sit down on my knee
Well come on here mama - sit down on my knee
I'm gonna tell you all about the way they treated me
If I had possession over judgment day
If I had possession over judgment day
All these women I've loved would have no right to pray
