Lyrics
[Harmonica intro]
Well I Woke up in a rush today forgot to comb my hair
It don’t matter I ain’t going anywhere
So light a cigarette and walk out that door
Well, the birds are chirping but there’s darkness in the sound
The last man he’s been known to stick around
But I try, I try, oh I try I will carry on
And it seems to be that every part of me is broken down
But I try, I try, oh I try I will carry on
[Harmonica]
Having booze for breakfast at the local dinery
Well, I talk with a sweet waitress that I know’s been eyeing me,
but she turned me down when I asked her on a date
After noon I smoke away the afternoon
I ain’t got an appetite just some players and a spoon
Well, I’m hoping this
will take me home
And it seems to be that every part of me is broken down
But I try, I try, oh I try I will carry on
[instrumental]
Well, my nose is running as I’m shaking off this cold
This stuff will kill you or least that’s what I’m told
And as the sun goes down, I think of her back home
So its told by every sole, that time will slip away
Just the pain of the stain glass is broken yesterday
There’s the cemetery down the road, please don’t go
Well, it seems to be that every part of me is broken down
But I try, I try, oh I try I will carry on
Well, I Woke up the …day forgot to comb my hair
It don’t matter I ain’t going anywhere
So light a cigarette and walk out that door
