Blues in Your Mind - Jerry Jeff Walker

Away back down the line you slipped and fell behind

You never got back up, you’re life went on

But your head looked back, at what you lost

You could turn your head around, it would help a lot

But there you sit, with the blues in your mind

Keeps you stumblin' all the time

Only you could get, together more often

Get together with yourself for real

Instead of just goofin'

So that everything you do, you’re into it all by yourself

But there you sit, with the blues in your mind

Waitin' for somebody, to say you’re right

Tryin' to find somebody, to take your life

You stepped outside and you were feelin' fine

There’s new things you must do

But all those people make it hard, to know who you are

They’re bound, that they should say, what you should do

You got to care and you got to share and still be you

Sometimes that’s quite hard

There’s things you put yourself into are never gone

If only you could do, what you could do and then move on

But there you sit with the blues in your mind

Keeps you stumblin' all the time

Only you could get together more often

Get together with yourself for real

Instead of just goofin'

So that everything you do you’re into it all by yourself

But there you sit, with the blues in your mind

Waitin' for somebody to say you’re right

Tryin' to find somebody to take your life
