How long has it been 
Did I forget to lay it down too 

Stroke out in a motel 
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall 
I got so much headache 
I can't get you out of my mind 

In the hardest times 
when I had to call on you 
For just a little 
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me alone 

You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 

And how long have you known 
that I forgot to lay you down too 
Too much sun milk and honey 
is that all that i really got? 
I had so much money but not enough sense to make change 

In the hardest times 
when I had to call on you 
For just a little 
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me when you leave me

You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 
Yeah 

How about this 
Entertaining myself 
on such a selfish wish 

I can't break this way though 
I can't be this way though 
And I feel like the same 
Are you feeling the same? 

Hey now 
I'm a poor man 
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall 
I got so much headache 
I can't get you out of my mind 

In the hardest times 
when I had to call on you 
For just a little 
When I cry I don't mind if you leave me 
when you leave me 

You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 

You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the wayside 
You caught me by the way
