lyrics

Oh Wretched Man

Why do I do the things I do
I try to be good but end up acting a fool
I swear next time I’ll do better but it don’t work
Cause Temptation comes a-wearin’ lipstick and mini-skirts

By all accounts I’m a fine upstanding man
But behind closed doors I truly am a sinner’s friend
In my skeleton closet there’s too much hurtin’
And pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

Can anybody hear my call
Somebody stop me ‘fore I break the law
Oh wretched man oh wretched man
Oh wretched man that I am

Me and Trailer Park Jimmy were hangin’ out one day
Being good little boys playin’ some ball tryin’ to behave
We get a call from Trashy Kelly and her sister Betty
That there’s a party down by the lake
Well we headed on down there to get a piece of that cake
