Two Candles Lyrics & Chords By The Backsliders

I know I could've been better
And I know I could've tried
But I let my heart run unfettered
Now my foolishness can't be denied

So I'll open my mouth just to insert my foot
But I never meant to cause you any pain
Now I'm standing here on your doorstep
In the rain

Them promises split just like water
Sweeter than yesterday's wine
But I never could do what I oughter
Living half out of my mind

Last night I walked to the mission
And I said a prayer to Saint Lupe Lu
Then I lit two candles
One for me and the other for you
I sat and watched 'em burn blue

I know I could've been better
And it ain't like I never tried
But I guess the whiskey's done took me one better
So now I'm standing here with nothing to hide
