Lyrics What's the Matter with Me - David McWilliams

What's the Matter with Me

As I walked down by the river, down by the silver stream
My head kept wondering back, to all the things I’ve done and seen
To faces, places, lands and scenes, forgotten in my mind
Dreams and memories buried deep, a long time left behind
Hey what’s the matter with me Hey what’s the matter with me The dust clouds were a-rollin', falling fast and deep
Taking all the sunbeams daring them to sleep
But the wind it wasn’t blowing, like a lonesome baby crying
Blowing hard behind me, pushing down the line
Hey what’s the matter with me Hey what’s the matter with me Oh the road is long and dusty, it’s a rough road to ride
There’s gold in its horizon, but there’s pitfalls by its side
Yet there’s something that’s a pushing me, it’s howling from behind
Train whistle blowing, think I’ll get on down the line
Hey what’s the matter with me Hey what’s the matter with me
