My head’s hangin’ low and my shoes are worn
I’ve had the blues in my soul since the day I was born
The devil’s been on my back now for quite some time
Yeah it’s just been me and him, and the whispering wind
And it’s, it’s time to find a little peace of mind
I said “Hey mister, hey, you’re going my way
I could sure use a ride out of this place
Hey mister, hey, it’s coming around and I could sure use a ride out of this town
‘Cause it’s a long way down to the bottom
It’s a long way to get back on top.”
I said “Hey mister, hey, you’re going my way
I could sure use a ride out of this place.”
I’ve been lookin’ for a sign, lookin’ for a friend
I’ve been looking at the same dead eyes in the mirror
Watching myself go down a dead end
I’ve been waiting on a prayer that never made it to God
Yeah, it’s like going through hell on a Sunday
But then going through hell’s about all I got
I said “Hey mister, hey, you’re going my way
I could sure use a ride out of this place
Hey mister, hey, it’s coming around and I could sure a ride out of this town
‘Cause it’s a long way down to the bottom
It’s a long way to get back on top.”
I said “Hey mister, hey, you’re going my way
I could sure use a ride out of this place.”
