Stealin' Lyrics

I've lately been backsliding back into sin

Yes all my bad habits are starting again

On the path that I follow I fall to my knees

And I call out your name and I hardly can sleep

Yes I'm stealing back to my same old used to be

I'm back with that rough crowd that I used to run with

Whose artless endeavours I never could stomach

Whose friendship was founded on some basic error

Some misunderstanding in thinking that there were

Some common emotional moments that we could compare

I'm going downtown and I'm dressing in black

I've changed all my locks and I'm not coming back

Yes I'm stealing back to my same old used to be

In rich or for poorer, in sickness and health

A man needs a family to share in his wealth

But where is my kindred?! For none can I see

And I pray that my maker has mercy on me

Yes I'm stealing back to my same old used to be

Tell my dear mother, who loved me so well

That she's not the reason I'm heading for hell

And tell all my good friends, those pals I grew up with

When my name comes up just to please change the subject

I'm stealing back to my same old used to be

I'm going downtown and I'm dressing in black

I've changed all my locks and I'm not coming back

Yes I'm stealing back to my same old used to be
