Can't Sing Straight

Teddy Thompson · A Piece Of What You Need [2008]

I been drinking so much I can't sing straight

I gotta hope that it's not too late

To say the only thing that I've ever had

Was here in my own two hands



Maybe it's good, maybe it's fine

Maybe I'll learn to walk the line



It's been a very short run I must object

You're not really gonna take it away just yet

I need ten more years to get to good

I just did what I thought I could get away with



Maybe it's good, maybe it's fine

Maybe I'll learn to walk the line



I was an ugly kid with an ugly name

Never had much of a wild side to tame

But I grew up pretty tall and fine

I just wanted to have my time

Have some fun



Maybe it's good, maybe it's fine

Maybe I'll learn to walk the line



Give me one more chance to get things right

I wanna put it back the way it was overnight

But a change of ways seems a bit too much

I don't really want to change my life as such



Maybe it's good, maybe it's fine

Maybe I'll learn to walk the line

Maybe it's fine, maybe it's good

Maybe it's message understood



Maybe it's good, maybe it's fine

Maybe I'll learn to walk the line
