Lyric When The Wild Life Betrays Me

When The Wild Life Betrays Me
By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley, Will Jennings
1984
Can t believe I m still here
With the morning so near
And last night so unclear

I see a tremblin hand
And a gold wedding band
Wonder where do I stand

When the wild life betrays me
And I m too far from home
Will you be there to save me
Will you shelter my heart til I m strong
Or will you just hang up the phone

All my crazy old lies
And my worn out disguise
Turns to tears in your eyes

What a fool I have been
There s no way I can win
Unless you take me back in

When the wild life betrays me
And I m too far from home
Will you be there to save me
Will you shelter my heart til I m strong
Or will you just hang up the phone

(instrumental)

When the wild life betrays me
And I m too far from home
Will you be there to save me
Will you shelter my heart till I m strong
Or will you just hang up the phone

When the wild life betrays me
