Trouble in Mind - lyrics

Trouble in mind, well I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
The sun's gonna shine
In my back-door someday

going down to the river
I'll take a rocking chair
And if these blues don't leave me
I'll rock away from here

Trouble in love, that's true
I have almost lost my mind
Life ain't worth living
I feel like I could die

I'm gonna lay my head
On some lonesome railroad line
The 2:29
will ease my worried mind

Trouble in mind, well I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
The wind's gonna come
And blow my blues away

Trouble in mind, well I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
The sun's gonna shine
In my back-door someday
