I woke up this morning, thousand things on my mind I woke up this morning, thousand things on my mind Lord I thought about my troubles, could not keep from crying I turned around, looked toward the sky I turned around, looked toward the sky I said if these blues don't kill me, then I wasn't born to die I lost all I had, everything I had to lose I lost all I had, everything I had to lose I lost the one I love, I just can't lose these blues And if I stay here, I'll be blue all the time And if I stay here, I'll be blue all the time If I don't go crazy, then I will lose my mind
