Woke up early this morning

Something wrong inside my head

Took a look around for breakfast

First thing I see is you're not there



So where were you, where were you?

Where were you, when I needed you?

Where were you, where were you?

When I needed you to see me through?



Oh something wrong, now what's gone wrong here

Looked in the mirror, broken white

Lucky to be alive and kicking

Kicking a lot of life around here



But where were you, where were you?

Yeah, where were you when I needed you?

Where were you, where were you?

When I needed you to see me through?



Ah, 'cause darling darling I need you

Yeah, darling darling I do

Darling darling I need you

Yes you know I do



Shefton brought me the message

Said you got out at Galveston

Church of Christ Jesus, Kentucky

Rattlesnakes and strychnine and prayer



So, where were you, where were you?

Yeah, where were you when I needed you?

Where were you, where were you?

When I needed you to see me through



Oh darling darling I need you

'Cause darling darling I do

Oh, darling darling I need you

Yes you know I do

Oh, yeah yeah yeah you know I do
