Where Did I Go Wrong Songtext
von Walking Papers

Someone had to do something
Things had gotten out of hand
And beyond these city limits
It′s nothing but heat, sun and sand
The children whisper to each other
The women lower their eyes
The emaciated horses
Flag their tails at flies

But there's no place to hide
From the unforgiving sky
And I know I don′t have long
'Til the relentless red glare
Has me gasping for air
Wondering where did I go wrong


A silhouette stepped off the sidewalk
But his future was grim
He reached for his sidearm
But I drew faster than him
The bullets found their target
He fell forward to his knees
He put his hands over a hole in his chest
And the last word he said was, "God help me, please"

But there's no place to hide
From the unforgiving sky
And I know I don′t have long
′Til the relentless red glare
Has me gasping for air
Wondering where did I go wrong

I put a leg over Fiona
And I rode her out of town
But I winced in the saddle
I felt the blood in my boot
And the sun beating down

But the temperature will rise
Like a halo of flies
And I know I don't have long
′Til the relentless red glare
Has me gasping for air
Wondering where did I go wrong

Yeah, where did I go wrong?
Yeah, where did I go wrong?
