And how long has it been   Did I forget to lay it down too     Stroke out in a motel   I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall   I got so much headache   I can't get you out of my mind     In the hardest times   when I had to call on you   For just a little   when I cry I don't mind if you leave me alone     You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside     And how long have you known   that I forgot to lay you down too   Too much sun milk and honey   is that all that i really got?   I had so much money but not enough sense to make change     In the hardest times   when I had to call on you   For just a little   when I cry I don't mind if you leave me when you leave me     You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside   Yeah     How about this   Entertaining myself   on such a selfish wish     I can't break this way though   I can't be this way though   And I feel like the same   Are you feeling the same?     Hey now   I'm a poor man   I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall   I got so much headache   I can't get you out of my mind     In the hardest times   when I had to call on you   For just a little   When I cry I don't mind if you leave me   when you leave me     You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside     You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the wayside   You caught me by the way
