WASTING MY LIFE AWAY
(Ernest Tubb)

Ernest Tubb – 1941


I’m Wasting My Life Away
And my hair is fast turning gray
On my life the sun never beams
And sorrows fill all of my dreams

Once I was happy and free
And grief was a stranger to me
Then you taught me to love you and left me this way
Just Wasting My Life Away

INSTRUMENTALS

You should have left me alone
And not let me called you my own
But somehow you just didn’t care
There’s nothing about you that’s fair

If ever there should come the time
That your life is messed up like mine
Just remember I love you but I hope that you pay
For Wasting My Life Away

INSTRUMENTALS

Once I thought love was Devine
But I was just foolish and blind
And I hope that you’re satisfied
For you crushed my spirit and cried

It’s hard to feel like I do
But you know I owe it to you
And I hope that it hurts you when you hear me say
I’m Wasting My Life Away
