Twist of Fate - Ray Wylie Hubbard

I got this girl in trouble

Somethin' I didn’t mean to do

But I done the right thing with the wedding ring

Then dropped out of school

I said goodbye to the cool rockin' cats

I sold my amp but not my Strat

A little twist of fate, things go like that

But when I’m burnin' in my head and I’m screaming at the night

all that’s left, man that can’t be right

And the deep river calls me from on the other side

It takes a little faith not to take that ride

Things got crazy and the marriage broke up

I guess it had to before it gone too far

Put on my suit and I went to the court

But Sherri got the house and the lawyer got the car

Judge gets my paycheck, my alibis

I get the pain and my kids gets the lice

Little twist of fate, somebody cried

But when I’m burnin' in my head and I’m screaming at the night

all that’s left, man that can’t be right

And the deep river calls me from on the other side

It takes a little faith not to take that ride

I look in the mirror and I got no reflection

My drink is cold but I taste the heat

And outside expensive comforts are walkin'

Not likin' the lyrics but lovin' the beat

I got some scars that no one can see

Some of them costly and some of them free

A little twist of fate, ah let it be

But when I’m burnin' in my head and I’m screaming at the night

all that’s left, man that can’t be right

And the deep river calls me from on the other side

It takes a little faith not to take that ride

But when I’m burnin' in my head and I’m screaming at the night

all that’s left, man that can’t be right

And the deep river calls me from on the other side

It takes a little faith not to take that ride

I ain’t gonna take that ride tonight

Oh no, I’m not gonna take that ride tonight

No no no, not tonight
