I’m singin’ a song ’cause I’m in misery
Sick and tired of them sad successes
That maybe will be
Done gone and pulled the rug out from under me
Oh lord show me the way
Well I’m layin’ in an alley
I can’t hear the way and why
Can’t move my legs can’t see
No I ain’t blind
Ain’t been the same since you
Said that you ain’t mine
Oh lord show me the way
And one time I had money
Everything a man could need
But I was so unhappy
So did I really succeed
Then you walked up and said you were leavin’ me
Oh lord show me the way
And you’ve got me walkin’ the streets alone
Can’t even give the dog a bone
Ain’t got no one, not even you to call my own
Oh lord show me the way
And you’ve got me walkin the streets alone
