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'
