Watchin' Over Me lyrics

Watchin' over me when I was high

Holdin’ my hand and wipin’ my eye

Watchin’ me cheat, watchin’ me lie

Oh, watchin’ over me

Lookin’ back over on the damage I done

Made no kind of plan to be carryin’ on

Thought I might ought to been dead and gone

I said, oh, the damage done

How’m I gonna pay that debt I owe

Big red Jesus on the radio

Down on my knees after the show

I said, oh, the debt I owe

I learned my lesson again

Well, I learned my lesson again

Only one way to surrender

Learned my lesson again

Got to return it to sender

Leave a little light in the window

Got to remember my friend

Guess I got to say it’s a lovely day

Nice enough to know it could ever be so

Ready man, steady man, here I’m gonna go

I said, oh, the lovely day
