I keep thinking some day I'll learn my lesson

I'll straighten up and turn it all around

Bad ideas, yeah there's been some

But for all my good intentions

The more I try the more I come unwound



CHORUS1

I keep leaning toward that wild side of life

And sometimes that old truth cuts me like a knife

I come early, I stay late

I guess it's just fate

I keep leaning toward that wild side of life



I won't make excuses for what I'm doing

I can't help it, it's just the way it goes

Ol' demons, I've fought them

Bad habits, still got them

So why dont be have one more for the road



And we'll keep leaning toward that wild side of life

And sometimes that old truth cuts like a knife

I come early, I stay late

I guess it's just fate

I keep leaning toward that wild side of life

Still leaning toward that wild side of life
