The Deadfields Often Wrong, Never In Doubt Cuttin' Ties 0:00 / 03:18 Lyrics Well I was just a sittin’ duck the day I saw those sweet brown eyes Of course they pulled me right under like a riptide Yeah I tasted love, but it sucked Cause she sucked me dry...I gave her all I had ‘til I got wise When I told her, “no, no, you’re never satisified. And no you don’t, you don’t care how hard I try. So you can find yourself another fool whose pockets you can dip into Oh oh oh girl, with you I’m cuttin’ ties.” Now I wouldn’t exactly call myself a wise old sage by the tender age of twenty-three But I thought I had myself quite a catch, you see Until she roped me in, and tied me down just like the rest Now the rest is history, cause I broke free When I told her, “no, no, you’re never satisified. And no you don’t, you don’t care how hard I try. So you can find yourself another fool whose pockets you can dip into Oh oh oh girl, with you I’m cuttin’ ties. I’ll cut ‘em right now!” Well I just sit back and relax these days, and try to find creative ways to wear a smile Like have these guys come on over to the lake for a little jam once in awhile That’s where we reminisce about the girls we don’t miss With a pick, pick, pick, and a grin we sing ‘em this: We sing, “no, no, you’re never satisified.” We sing, “no, no, you’re never satisfied... So you can find yourself another fool whose pockets you can dip into Oh oh oh girl, with you I cut the ties (no you’re never satisfied) Oh girl with you I cut the ties (no you’re never satisfied) Oh girl with you I cut the ties Oh girl with you I cut the ties.” Often Wrong, Never in Doubt 0:00 / 03:18 Lyrics I don’t need no dern directions I’m the man behind the wheel You be my passenger, I promise baby I’ll get ya there by feel Cause I’m often wrong, but never in doubt This is my song, you oughta know by now, mmm-hmmm So sick and tired of these instructions They never did me any good I built my kingdom out of heartbreak, mistakes, And being misunderstood Yeah I’m often wrong, but never in doubt Call me crazy, lady, but I got it figured out This is my song, you oughta know by now Oh oh oh, I’m often wrong, but never in doubt Now can’t you smell what I’ve been cooking?
