Buddy Guy - Smarter Than I Was lyrics

Wind is howling I'm all alone Sitting by the fire But I can't get warmer Been 9 cold nights She ain't coming home She took my soul to the darker side But halfway there I done got wise 9 cold nights Time to say goodbye I guess my best Just wasn't good enough I may not look it But I'm smarter than I was Dogs are barking In the midnight rain Thunder and lightning To know this pain 9 cold nights But tonight it's gonna change I guess my best Just wasn't good enough I may not look it But I'm smarter than I was Burn them memories Like gasoline It's time I learned To wipe it clean Tonight your mine No longer haunting me I guess my best Just wasn't good enough I may not look it But I'm smarter than I was I may not look it But I'm much smarter than I was
