Trouble in mind, Lord, I'm blue,
but I won't be blue always.
You know, the sun is gonna shine,
in my back door one day
I'm gonna lay my head,
Lord on some sad, old railroad iron
I'm gonna let that 2:19,
pacify my mind
I'm gonna buy me a rockin' chair,
Gonna take it and sit right down.
Lord, if the blues overtake me,
I'm gonna rock on away from here
If I had listened to my mother,
I wouldn't be in the shape I'm in.
But she told me once - I said it was wrong,
And I got the blues.
