Lost the fight with a woman so fast,
seems like I'm standing on driftin' sand.
Lost the fight with my woman so fast,
seems like I'm in driftin' sand.
And all the time I thought she love me,
now she is gone with another man.
left me early in the morning,
down by the railroad track.
Left me early in the morning,
down by the railroad track.
The life is what she tought me,
but you better hold your bright life away from that.
So mama, please, please try to understand
baby, please, please try to understand.
You know I'm living with a broken heart,
now I'm singing in driftin' sand.
Baby, please, keep on trying to understand.
I need you to be my woman,
I wanna be your man.
The way you left me here, baby,
seems like I'm standing in driftin' sand.
I lost the fight with my woman so fast,
seems like I'm standing on driftin' sand.
Lost the fight with my woman so fast,
seems like I'm on driftin' sand.
And all the time I thought she love me,
but now she is fooling another man.
