The Year It All Went Wrong Songtext
von Michael McDermott

I lost grand in Memphis
I bought a gun in Reno
I sold my train ticket outside Milan
I missed a plane in Dublin
I hopped a boat in Frisco
I miss my pretty girl
Whose memory lingers on
I scarred a scarlet sunset
Painted a fallen rainbow
Took a wrong turn in Tulsa
Wound up in Madison
I dont know if I′ll make it to heaven
I can't tell between the sunset and dawn
From May to December I′ll always remember
The year it all went wrong
I hurt some friends in New York
I lost my girl from England
I wondered where I might be
Come a year from now
Would I be breathing


Or maybe still be deceiving...
I running out of time
To turn this ship around
I dont know if I'll make it to heaven
I'm not sure what street it′s on
Maybe I′ll awaken from this dream where I'm forsaken
In the year it all went wrong
I′m searching and seekeng
Though my boat seems to be leaking
And maybe someday I'll find the shore
Where peace flows like river
And the good lord will deliver
On a journey inward toward a heavenly door
I smoked my dreams in Hollywood
Built them back up in Philly
Had friend die in St. Louis
Who was looking to score
Got towed in St. Paul
Got got snowed in, in Denver
Got picked up in Detroit
Got blown off in Baltimore
I dont know if I′ll make it to heaven
I dont know if I'm that strong or if I belong
The trouble seems to wilt me but I′m feeling so damned guilty
In the year it all went wrong
