Choctaw Wildfire

Lyrics

I’ve been good for way too long and I can’t take it anymore
Got a feeling that I’m headed right out your back door
I never quite intended for it to go this way
But the hole that we’ve been digging getting deeper everyday

I wish that I was kinder and I wish that I was clean
The daggers we’ve been throwing turned me pretty mean, turned me pretty mean

And you want me feeling sorry for all the things I’ve done
But the truth is baby we’ve been doing each other wrong
The truth is that I’m trying but you ain’t trying to see
I want to save our family but keep my dignity
And use what I’ve been given to set the world ablaze
Without your damn resentment standing in my way

I wish that I was kinder and I wish that I was clean
The daggers we’ve been throwing turned me pretty mean, turned me pretty mean

And you act like you’ve forgotten where you used to be
And in your darkest hour, there was only me
And I stood beside you while others turned and ran
And I tried to love you and it almost killed this man

I wish that I was kinder and I wish that I was clean
The daggers we’ve been throwing turned me pretty mean, turned me pretty mean

And if it’s really true that you can’t stand me anymore
I guess I’ll just be headed right out your back door.
