My Crooked Ways

Some day I'll change my crooked ways
And all the poisons in my veins
Will turn to endless streams of lemonade
And I'll find that crime, it doesn't pay
And use the money that I stole
To buy new homes for needy families
I swear one day I'ma change my crooked ways
Begging on my knees that I'll find the path that sets me straight
And wakes me up from this bed of my decay
Yes, it's safe to say I've gone astray
But some day I will change my crooked ways

And I'll take this early grave I dug for me
And fill it up six feet with dirt and seeds
And watch it bloom a garden green
Then I'll turn every lie I told to you into
A light to guide you through and on the other side
You won't mind when you hear the truth
I swear one day I'ma change my crooked ways
Begging on my knees that I'll break these chains that seal my fate
And wakes me up from this bed of my decay
Yes, it's safe to say I've gone astray
But some day I will change my crooked ways
Change my crooked ways

Pack my troubled habits up and put 'em on a shelf
Shouting out a cry for help to save me from myself
I've spent a lifetime burning down the candle at both ends
I gotta take a gamble on this chance to start again
And so I swear one day I'ma change my crooked ways
Begging on my knees that tomorrow doesn't mean too late
To wake me up from this bed of my decay
Yes, it's safe to say I've gone astray
But some day I will change my crooked ways
Change my crooked ways
Change my crooked ways
