Wayward And Down (Ardent Sessions)

[Spoken]
I guess I should've picked something out
Oh oh, will y'all sing with me?
Yeah, whoever knows Wayward And Down, just come on, stand behind mind
This might not work, might work, who knows
This is my sinner's gospel tune, my momma says- she said this is her favorite song I ever wrote she just wants me to change every single word
She uh, she loves the baby Jesus
Here we go

Oh I guess I should say who I got behind
[?] Excuse me, The Pips
Nah I think this is fine I'll just

[Chorus: Cory Branan & Audience]
Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
I can't help falling wayward and down
Sweet is the apple, dark is thе town
I can't help falling wayward and down

[Verse]
Born under the sign of original sin
Born into this mеss of a shape that we're in
Never had no one to show me around
Just made my own way wayward and down

[Chorus: Cory Branan & Audience]
Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
I can't help falling wayward and down
Sweet is the apple, dark is the town
I can't help falling wayward and down

[Verse]
Well, Heaven's the next town with a girl and a bar
Never followed me any particular star
They say I aimlessly wander, but I've always been bound
The exact same direction - wayward and down

[Chorus: Cory Branan & Audience]
Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
I can't help falling wayward and down
Sweet is the apple, dark is the town
I can't help falling wayward and down

[Verse]
Beneath me the devil on a lily-white mare
Beside me a girl with black bows in her hair
And above angels plead in a sweet clear sound
That disappears on your way wayward and down

[Chorus: Cory Branan & Audience]
Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
I can't help falling wayward and down
Sweet is the apple, dark is the town
I can't help falling wayward and down

[Verse]
Well I guess I'll be going, the whiskey's all gone
The crows will give Lola my message at dawn
If she gets lost and lonely I'm easily found
Just take the straight and narrow

[Chorus: Cory Branan & Audience]
Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
I can't help falling wayward and down
Sweet is the apple, dark is the town
I can't help falling wayward and down

Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
I can't help falling wayward and down
Sweet is the apple, dark is the town
I can't help falling way-
(This'll never work, let's try it though)

Wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
I can't help falling wayward and down
Sweet is the apple, dark is the town
I can't help falling wayward and down
Oooh

[Spoken]
Thanks y'all
