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
