Where Did I Go Wrong?

Self-explanatory fo' sho'!!

lyrics

5/20/22
Now, I'm not superstitious but I know when somethin's wrong
when sudden thoughts at 3am come hit me like a gong!
I know in spite of all my treks, I feel I'm missing out
and in spite of higher learning don't know what it's all about.

They say hindsight is 20/20, and maybe that it true
but I'm still making old mistakes or playing someone's fool
Maybe one day I'll get wise; I hope it won't be long.
But 'till it comes I'll strum and bumble just like Cheech and Chong!

(Chorus)
So if you say I'm bungling the same ol', silly song
or if you claim I've come up short and just can't get along
or if you think of Heaven as a place I don't belong,
then tell me... tell me...tell me, please. Where did I go wrong?

Is my damage from those edibles, or the bad friends that I made,
or guilt from Johnny's Oreos that I stole in 2nd grade,
or rage from sibling rivalry or my own D.N.A.,
or sorrow from that beauty queen who I let slip away?

Or does it come from that blue jail they called my middle school?
Or is it from too much chlorine in Bobby's swimming pool?
Or does it come from reading crap and all those fairy tales?
Or does it come from any spook who's going through my mail?

(Chorus)
So if you say I'm bungling the same ol', silly song
or if you claim I've come up short and just can't get along
or if you think of Heaven as a place I don't belong,
then tell me... tell me...tell me, please. Where did I go wrong?

Now, if stupid were a Pinto, well, you know I'd slam the brakes
and I would cut my losses now if that's what it would take
You could bring it to my face and I'd take it like a man
'cause I don't care for make-believe and I ain't Peter Pan.

I count the things that I've done right, but only on one hand
Grappling all my damn regrets, I wonder how I stand.
But maybe it's a blessing that pretends to be a curse
I just hope that thanks to love it won't get any worse!

(Chorus)
So if you say I'm bungling the same ol', silly song
or if you claim I've come up short and just can't get along
or if you think of Heaven as a place I don't belong,
then tell me... tell me...tell me, please. Where did I go wrong?

And if my song is truly wrong, then I don't wanna be right!
