Truly Right

     
 

I decided just to make my mind up suddenly today

Something moved me to play the game again

I’ve been trying not to believe what my friends have said to me

But it’s truly

Truly right

Truly right as rain

 

There’s another place yet to go before I loose the way

There’s a woman I pray that I should see

I’ve realized a little late but sadder is the fate

That it’s truly

Truly right

Truly right as rain

 

I know I’m holding a one way ticket in my hand

I’d like to come back …Understand

 

I didn’t know I didn’t know I would

I didn’t know I didn’t know I would wreck some lives

And though I understood I didn’t really think I could

I didn’t know I didn’t know I would

 

I’ve been trying not to believe what my friends have said to me

I’m inclined to agree with them again

When I win I don’t feel right, so I'm losing tonight

And it’s truly

Truly right

Truly right as rain

 

Truly

Truly right

Truly right as rain
