Tell everyone that I am sorry, truly sorry

For all the wrongs I done

I never meant to hurt nobody

Lord I never want to do no wrong



I have lied, I have begged and I have cheated

And I know my ship won't be coming in

As I lay me down to take my rest

I see that it's just dust in the wind



Take hold my hand, hold it tighter, ever tighter

You must believe that I love you still

But my strength, it grows weaker, ever weaker

And my body has lost its will



Oh my Lord, I have lost once again

And I got no one to help me find my way

But I never wanted to hurt nobody

And I never wanted to do no wrong
