Wayward and Down

wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
 i can't help falling wayward and down
 sweet is the apple, dark is the town
 i can't help falling wayward and down
 born under the sign of original sin
 born into this mess of a shape that i'm in
 never had no one to show me around
 just made my own way wayward and down
 heaven's the next town with a girl and a bar
 never followed me any particular star
 they say i aimlessly wander, but i've always been bound
 the exact same direction - wayward and down
 beneath me the devil on a lily-white mare
 beside me a girl with black bows in her hair
 above angels plead in a sweet clear sound
 that disappears on the way wayward and down
 i guess i'll be going, the whiskey's all gone
 the crows will give Lola my message at dawn
 if she gets lost and lonely i'm easily found
 just take the straight and narrow wayward and down
