When I get these blues I just look back down that road.
It's been a while since I laid down that load.
These blues ain't nothing like the blues
I had before I paid a little debt I owe.
When I get these blues I just look back down that road.
Everything I ever needed was on the shelf.
Spent all of my time feeling sorry for myself.
I was drifting and dreaming and waiting
and watching for a ship with a silver sail.
But I got lucky and I woke up in jail.
There is none so blind as he who will not see.
And it's easy to see I could not see that was me.
When he washed ashore the drunken
sailor was adrift in the city night.
And you'd better believe
in the morning my burden was light.
Well I don't know where I'm going but I know I'm going to the moon.
I don't know where I've been.
And there ain't no need to ever go back again.
And my very worst days are so much
better than the best I knew back then.
And I thank the Lord that a loser can sometimes win.
And I thank the Lord that a loser can sometimes win.
