"Rough Around The Edges" lyrics - MARTY STUART

Well I woke up this morning with miles of life behind me
My friends and family worry cause they don't know where to find me
Once again I'll beg forgiveness for another lost night in my soul
Something bad's got a hold on me and it just won't let me go

[Chorus:]
Rough around the edges
It's hard to face myself
The mirror in the corner
Shows a man who looks like death
Can't seem to find a way
T o steady up and gain control
Rough around the edges
The devil's reaching for my soul

Well I can't blame nobody for this awful shape I'm in
I've shook a hundred helping hands then go fall down again
People talk about me well that just adds to all the shame
I straighten up for a day or two then the bottle calls my name

[Chorus:]
Rough around the edges
It's hard to face myself
The mirror in the corner
Shows a man who looks like death
Can't seem to find a way
T o steady up and gain control
Rough around the edges
The devil's reaching for my soul
Rough around the edges
The devil's reaching for my soul
