I Chose the Path of Sorrow and Shame

I chose the path of sorrow and shame
I’ll never get past the pain
My life can never be the same
’Cause I chose the path of sorrow and shame
I turned my back on the Christian ways
I lived my life in a drunken haze
Women and wine were my downfall
I don’t walk the line, I stumble and crawl
How I long to see my childhood home
To settle there no more to roam
To be welcomed back into the fold
’Cause I’m feelin’ tired and I’m feelin’ old
But I chose the path of sorrow and shame
I’ll never get past the pain
My life can never be the same
’Cause I chose the path of sorrow and shame
When I’m feelin’ lost and all alone
As my memories carry me back home
I see friends and family deep within my mind
As I ponder the life I chose to leave behind
I can smell my daddy’s cigarettes
He lived a life of few regrets
How I wish I’d been more like him
Instead of the man that I am
But I chose the path of sorrow and shame
I’ll never get past the pain
My life can never be the same
’Cause I chose the path of sorrow and shame
Yes I chose the path of sorrow and shame
