lyrics

Laid to Waste by David Insley

Well she started on the top, ended on the bottom,
Spent some time there in between along the way
She was raised her mamma’s daughter, thank god her daddy never caught her,
When this poor ol’ country boy was laid to waste

She’s the reason heads are turning, and in my heart a fire is burning,
She’s the cause of all that’s good that’s come my way
And if I didn’t know no better, and if her job would only let her,
Well we’d stay in bed till noon most every day

Laid to waste, there’s a taste of your lovin’ lingerin’ on, and I can’t find a reason to rise
From the bed where I lie, on the pillow by your side, when all I’ll ever need is right here in my arms
All the good stuff that I know, I learned from 40 years of mistakes
And I wasted lots of time along the way
Well you know I aint complainin’, I’m just tryin’ to explain
What a difference your lovin’ has made
I ain’t a braggin’ on myself, I’m just a simple man
I might be part of how we come so far, but your love has made me what I am
And that twinkle in my eye, y’know, you’re the one who put it there,
All my tenderness is due to you, and our early morning love affair
