Trouble in mind I'm blue but I won't be blue always
Because the sun's gonna shine in my backdoor someday
I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line

And let that 2-20 pacify my worried mind
[ steel ]
Trouble in mind I'm blue and I almost lost my mind
Sometimes I feel like livin' sometimes I feel I could die
I'm going down to the river I'm gonna buy me a rockin' chair
And if the blues don't leave me I'm gonna rock away from here
[ fiddle ]
Trouble in mind I'm blue my old heart is a beating slow
I never had so much trouble in my life before
My good gal she done quit me and it sure did dread my mind
When you see me laughin' I'm just a tryin' to keep from cryin'
