Let Me Go East

Cannot conjure a reason
You can’t make a distinction
Singin' words that no one understands
Robbing all of your glory
Telling half of the story
Feel the fire between you
Take your words and make them sing
Said you were a king,
But you were no such thing
And they said you were a drinkin' man but I don’t mind
I know you never had a home to lay your head
So no one really liked your friends
But I don’t care at all
Oh, where did we go so wrong?
Every changing of season
All of our bleeding treason
Take a number, get in line
We may have missed the chance to live our lives
Said you were a king
But you were no such thing
And they said you were a drinking man
But I don’t mind
I know you never had a home to lay your head
So no one really liked your friends
But I don’t care at all
Oh, whoa, where did we go so wrong
Yeah, ooh, yeah
And I wonder when your kingdom comes
Will I be there
Can you tell me if your will be done
Will I even care?
You weren’t a religious man
All the beautiful things that you said
And I know it in my heart and
So where did we go so wrong?
Oh, where did we go so wrong?
