lyrics

Woke up one morning ten years ago
Told the old lady I'd be back before dark
Was down by her house today
I would have stopped in but
Couldn't find a place to park
I must have been feeling lonely and blue
Almost broke me up - thinking about you

There's a sign on the door took you out of the garden
Everybody's midnight and everybody's shame
You sent me word about some job in St Louis
Take the river boat and I'll take the train
I must have been feeling lonely again
Thought I had you back but your gone again

There's word up from Chicago there's word up from the north
Ain't nobody out there knows what any of it is worth
They say they pay good wages they pay transportation too
Treat you like an immigrant but I'm just the same as you
I can't remember the time or the place
Wind whips the dust from the road back up in to my face

Woke up one morning ten years ago
Told the old lady I'd be back before dark
Was down by her house today
I would have stopped in but
Couldn't find a place to park
I must have been feeling lonely and blue
Almost broke me up - thinking about you
Blew a damn good high thinking of you
Almost broke me up thinking of you
