Song Description

Don`t try to change a bad person, faith will deal with him/her

Story Behind the Song

This is Hank Williams meeting Chet Atkins. Trying to write a song with more chromatic and septime chords..Bit old fashioned but can`t help writing these songs..love the word wicked..hardly used anymore..really Hank Williams...All recorded in Nashville with a real Chet Atkins solo..man do I love Mr. Sandman by Chet Atkins..

Lyrics

Wicked ways

Your road is one of darkness
You just want it negative
Whenever I tried to help
No matter if I persist

Chorus:
Follow your wicked ways
Away from the light
I can`t save your wicked soul
Reason is not your guide

You prefer the alleys
Were light does not come
Darkness and sadness
Arrives when all hope is gone

Chorus:

Follow your wicked ways
Away from the light
I can`t save your wicked soul
Reason is not your guide
Monkeys don't change their habits
When all they know is lying
Take what you believe is yours
You don`t care `n see others dying

Chorus

Your selfish way of going round
Works out wrong better leave this town
Baby things are changing
The only road for you is down
Chorus
I won`t look back baby
To prevent you from falling
Things will have to be that way
The sound of justice calling!

Chorus
