Woke up this morning, didn't wanna leave my bed Wrestling with my pillow, I knew I couldn't stay there I was dreaming about a ship, but I don't think it's ever coming in I don't know where I'm going, and I hope it ain't where I've been Lord, I'm wondering why I feel so bad I've been spending the days watching the clouds go by Trying to keep from thinking about how I'm gonna make it through the night I could reach for the whiskey, reach for the pills But I'd have to face the morning and the cheapness of the thrill Lord, I'm wondering why I feel so bad, bad, bad, bad So many memories, no good in looking back Trying to walk on this good earth, but I ain't leaving no tracks Searching for the feeling to be a child again I can almost smell the river, river on my skin, yeah skin Lord, I'm wondering why I feel so bad Can't stop these thoughts running through my head Lord, I'm wondering why I feel so bad
