Went out on a limb
Gone too far
I broke down at the side of the road
Stranded at the outskirts and sun's creepin' up
Baby's in the backseat
Still fast asleep
Dreamin' of better days
I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to
What do you say
When it's all gone away
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
The truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to
You humble me lord
Humble me lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me lord
You humble me lord
So please please please forgive me
Baby teresa, she's got your eyes
I see you all the time
When she asks about her daddy
I never know what to say
Heard you kicked the bottle
And helped to build the church
You carry an honest wage
Is it true you have someone keeping you company
What do you say
When it's all gone away
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to
You humble me lord
Humble me lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me lord
You humble me lord
So please please forgive me
You humble me
Gone too far
I broke down at the side of the road
Stranded at the outskirts and sun's creepin' up
Baby's in the backseat
Still fast asleep
Dreamin' of better days
I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to
What do you say
When it's all gone away
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
The truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to
You humble me lord
Humble me lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me lord
You humble me lord
So please please please forgive me
Baby teresa, she's got your eyes
I see you all the time
When she asks about her daddy
I never know what to say

No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to
You humble me lord
Humble me lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me lord
You humble me lord
So please please forgive me
You humble me
