Jerry Jeff Walker



Away back down the line you slipped and fell behind

And you never got back up, you never went on

But your head looked back at what you lost

If you could turn your head around it would help a lot



But there you sit with the blues on your mind

It keeps you stumblin' all the time

If 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

And they're bound that they should say what you should do

And there you sit with the blues in your mind

That keeps you stumblin' all the time

If 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
