Wasting Time
Guess I've been walking out for my whole life
And every girl that I've left has been canonized
Breaking up with the sour side of crooked minds
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
I've been searching everywhere for a love of mine
Who's not gonna leave me dry and try to cut the ties
Honey, these sins ain't sins, they're friends of mine
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
Mr. Business clocking double shifts on all his wives
He says he ain't a bad Christian, just part-time
Honey, this job ain't a job, it's a friend of mine
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
I'm gonna go one-hundred down the county line
Screaming everything in sight is goddamn mine
Don't take it from me now
Don't take it from me, then I'll hate myself if I lose you, dear
If I lose you, dear
If I lose you, dear
All conditions
Your convictions
They want you kicking
They want you kicking
I'm gonna take my convictions for a ride
Down to the bar where everybody's getting crucified
And only one of us will make it out of this alive
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
Even Jesus and the devil out here starting fights
And Cain and Abel in the side yard picking sides
I'm hoping God, but I'm putting money on a tie
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
This goddamn man, don't take it from me now
Don't take it from me, then I'll hate myself if I lose you, dear
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
And every girl that I've left has been canonized
Breaking up with the sour side of crooked minds
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
I've been searching everywhere for a love of mine
Who's not gonna leave me dry and try to cut the ties
Honey, these sins ain't sins, they're friends of mine
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
Mr. Business clocking double shifts on all his wives
He says he ain't a bad Christian, just part-time
Honey, this job ain't a job, it's a friend of mine
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
I'm gonna go one-hundred down the county line
Screaming everything in sight is goddamn mine
Don't take it from me now
Don't take it from me, then I'll hate myself if I lose you, dear
If I lose you, dear
If I lose you, dear
All conditions
Your convictions
They want you kicking
They want you kicking
I'm gonna take my convictions for a ride
Down to the bar where everybody's getting crucified
And only one of us will make it out of this alive
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
Even Jesus and the devil out here starting fights
And Cain and Abel in the side yard picking sides
I'm hoping God, but I'm putting money on a tie
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
This goddamn man, don't take it from me now
Don't take it from me, then I'll hate myself if I lose you, dear
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
Wasting a little time
Wasting a little life
