Well my life seems such a mess and I don't know what to say

Said I can't go on a living this way

I'd like to go down to the river and drown me if I could

But I'd go down remembering so it wouldn't do no good

I'd like to leave this thought behind but it caught me every day

And I can't go on a living this way



Well I'm always a moanin' I'm always a groanin' I got these weary blues

I'm always a cryin' I'm always a sighin' it's always over you

Well I feel too bad to leave this town but I'm too sick to stay

Well I can't go on a living this way

Well my life seems...
