The spotlight ain't treatin' me well
It gets up in my face, can't see nothin' else
I start losin' my place, keeps ringin' my bell
Till I can't leave the stage without somebody's help, or I'll fall
Been gettin' worse every night
Like a big puff of smoke slowly coverin' my eyes
Screwin' up my head's got me squintin' all the time
The people I know are gettin' hard to recognize, and I'm scared
I'm goin' blind
I bet you didn't notice
Goin' blind
Hardly anybody knows, yeah
My wife and my kids
Some family and friends
The ones that drive me round
And hold the lamps that guide me in
Goin' blind
I'm too young for feelin' so elderly
Will somebody please come and read this to me?
I'm goin' everywhere in the passenger seat
Tell me what kind of man can't get his kids from point A to B?
I'm goin' blind
Like I might not see ya later
I'm goin' blind
Askin' everyone for favors
I don't know where I'd be
Without my family and friends
The ones that drive me round
And hold the lamps that guide me in
They've been tryna keep me optimistic
"Surely the doctors are gonna fix it"
And even if they don't, hey, it'll be alright
But I've had trouble with the bright side
Goin' blind
I've had to really think it over
Goin' blind
Oh, it's nearly scared me sober
I've been leanin' on the Lord
My family and friends
The ones that drive me round
And hold the lamps that guide me in
Goin' blind
Brought the heart back into focus
I'm goin' blind
So much love I'd failed to notice
Goin' blind, mmh-hm-hm
