Mind's a Wandering

My mind’s a been a wandering A wandering it had gone To where it was a wandering Is a place I have not known It seems to have a wandered far And a wandered on its own Should one day it a wanders back It might just find me gone It a wandered to a foreign land Where others a wandered as well It seems to be a wandering still To where, I just can’t tell While it was one day a wandering A phone call, to me, it made It asked for help and money It knew I just got paid I said, you chose to a wander And never invited me So, help, you will never get And money, you will never see Then, one day while it a wandered A knock came to my door A police officer came to tell me My mind’s a wandering no more It had a wandered with a gang That thought they ruled this town But a tough mind came a wandering And brought the gang on down No more is my mind a wandering For it had a wandered too far It had a wandered everywhere ‘Til being killed, in a fight at a bar.
