The Failure

I walked down on the road

The dogs were barking low

And the rain came showering down

While the lights grew distant

I prayed the gods above

All the way from Mexico

And the rain was hammering down

As we crossed the border

Oh my Lord do come on

All my soul I will give

Oh my Lord do come on

Mitigate the failure

Oh my Lord do come on

All my soul I will give

Oh my Lord do come on

Mitigate the failure

We arrived and time went slow

Couldn't find a place to go

And the rain came pummeling down

On the lights of Frisco

I went to "The Château"

Heard it on the radio

The signs were shining above

As I rang the doorbell

Oh my Lord do come on

All my soul I will give

Oh my Lord do come on

Mitigate the failure

Oh my Lord do come on

All my soul I will give

Oh my Lord do come on

Mitigate the failure

And the rain it hammered, the rain it hammered

The rain it hammered down

And the rain it hammered, the rain it hammered

The rain it hammered down

And the rain it hammered, the rain it hammered

The rain it hammered down

And the rain it hammered, the rain it hammered

The rain it hammered down

I searched for the night before

Didn't know what I fell for

And my head was spinning around

As I tasted some blood

I felt I'd never be

Someone that's good for me

All the things that were mine to give

They were always wasted

Oh my Lord do come on

All my soul I will give

Oh my Lord do come on

Mitigate the failure

Oh my Lord do come on

All my soul I will give

Oh my Lord do come on

Mitigate the failure

Oh my Lord do come on

All my soul I will give

Oh my Lord do come on

Mitigate the failure

Oh my Lord do come on

All my soul I will give

Oh my Lord do come on

Mitigate the failure
