Lyrics The Way That I Feel - Harry Belafonte, Ben Webster, Hank Jones

The Way That I Feel

This is the way that I do feel
I feel it everywhere I go
I feel just like an engine
That lost its driving wheel
I’m feeling down as a man can feel
Since she said that she don’t want me hangin' round
Feel like a tin can just a rusting way out on the dumpin' ground
It sure is hard to stumble down when you ain’t got no place to fall
Seems like in this whole world I ain’t got no place at all
I’m feeling like a stranger here
I feel like a stranger everywhere
Feel like I like to go back home
But I’m a stranger there
I’ve tried and tried
To go my way and leave the worried past behind
But every time the sun goes down
That woman stays on my mind
