Lyrics Blues in Your Mind - Jerry Jeff Walker

Blues in Your Mind

Away back down the line you slipped and fell behind
You never got back up, you’re life went on
But your head looked back, at what you lost
You could turn your head around, it would help a lot
But there you sit, with the blues in your mind
Keeps you stumblin' all the time
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
They’re bound, that they should say, what you should do
You got to care and you got to share and still be you
Sometimes that’s quite hard
There’s things you put yourself into are never gone
If only you could do, what you could do and then move on
But there you sit with the blues in your mind
Keeps you stumblin' all the time
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
