Lyrics

Strayed by C.Pinkney and D.Rebeiro


She had the eyes of a sinner and the body of a saint
You know I met her down on Heartbreak Lane
She put my life on a downtown train
Don't know why I strayed

I was a man of distinction, had a lady , had a life
And if you'd seen her boy you'd have to look twice
Swear she's gonna cut me with her wedding cake knife
Don't know why I strayed

And a sad blue saxophone reminds him he's a alone
The neon flashes through the smokey haze
And the dreams that he once held
Lay drowning in the wishing well
Like a summer rain he knew it wouldn't last
Didn't last

And so I sit here all alone at the bar
The road to redemption's just a road too far
When all I have is this bottle and some cheap cigar
I don't know why I strayed

What's a man supposed to do when his world is torn in two
And the life that he once knew is in the past
And the dreams that he once held
Lay drowning in the wishing well
Like a summer rain he knew it wouldn't last
Didn't last

She had the eyes of a sinner and the body of a saint
You know I met her down on Heartbreak Lane
She put my life on a downtown train
Don't know why I strayed
I don't know why
Don't know why I strayed
I don't know why
Lord knows why I strayed
Tell me why, why did i stray

Oooh eyes of a sinner
Don't know why I strayed
