Lyrics

(VERSE 1)
Well, I was
Sneakin? in the house
Prayin? she didn?t know

I was tryin? to think
Of a way to fix it
Foolish me
Seventeen years old

But the
Kitchen light was on
I saw Daddy sittin? in his chair
He didn?t say a word
But Momma laid into me
Right then and there

She said the
Sherrif called
Said you were alright
But the other boy?s in the dark

He said the
Car?s been towed
You ran
Off the road
You were both
Speedin? through red lights

Now tell me what
Was goin? through your head
And why weren?t you home
Safe in bed

Boy, sometimes I wonder about you

(CHORUS)
Sometimes I wonder about me
Sometimes I think I?m goin? crazy
Sometimes I know that
I know better
Than the things I do

But I?ve still got some learnin?
Lord, I need some educating
Will I ever save me
From myself
Will I ever make it through

Sometimes I wonder about me

(VERSE 2)
Well I?d been
Married for ten years
But I didn?t know when to stop

I gambled our whole
Savings away
That?s when I knew that
I?d been caught

My wife was waiting
In the yard
As I pulled in to the drive

The kids were nowhere to be seen
That?s when she started to cry

She said the
Banker called
Our checks all bounced
And the mortgage is in default

He said it?s
Six months past
And we?re
Out of cash
Did you think
You wouldn?t get caught

Now tell me what on
Earth were you thinkin?
The kids are at my mom?s till
We stop sinkin?

Boy, sometimes I wonder about you

(CHORUS)
Sometimes I wonder about me
Sometimes I think I?m goin? crazy
Sometimes I know that
I know better
Than the things I do

But I?ve still got some learnin?
Lord, I need some educating
Will I ever save me
From myself
Will I ever make it through

Sometimes I wonder about me


(BRIDGE)
Well I?m
At the gates
My life had changed
And I
Couldn?t ask for more

I?d paid my dues
I?d seen it through
I?d been forgiven
Just once more

Now the
Man, Himself
Looked me
In the eyes
He said,
?We thought you might not make it.?
?Boy, I?m proud of you.?
?Sometimes I wondered about you.?

(CHORUS)
Sometimes I wondered about me
Sometimes I thought I?d just gone crazy
Sometimes I knew that
I knew better
Than those things I?d do

But I finally finished learnin?
Lord, you helped to educate me
Lord, you saved me from myself and now I
Finally made it through

Cause I never wondered about you.
