Distraction #74 (Live At Bojangles' Coliseum/2009) - The Avett Brothers

I was in love with your beauty

From the day you walked my way

Oh how I wish that was enough

To have made me want to stay

See I＇m as true as I try to be

And I must say my girl

I tried the best to give to you

All of the truest in the world

But when I left your house

That morning in that ragged thunderbird

Tried so hard to fight the voices from

The devil＇s that I heard

See there＇s a highway to the right of us

I took it years ago

And since a year ago can＇t drive past

Without turning down that road

And I knew it

I never should have turned the wheel

And I knew it

The voices calling me were real

I knew it

Listen to the song they sing

I knew I was wrong

And I knew I was wrong

So give me a try at describing

Just how difficult it is

When you kinda love two girls to figure out

Which one you miss

Stumble away from your stairway

With your perfume on my clothes

Well I kinda loved two girls

But now I＇ve kinda lost ＇em both

And I knew it

I never should have turned the wheel

And I knew it

The voices calling me were real

I knew it

Listen to the song they sing

I knew I was wrong

And I knew I was wrong

And if I could gather up the damage

That I rendered in my life

Place it on a scale and weigh against

The damage done that night

Then it＇d be safe to say

The weight of all I did and didn＇t do

Would surely float against

The lightest straw I ever did to you
