Jerry Jeff Walker Away back down the line you slipped and fell behind And you never got back up, you never went on But your head looked back at what you lost If you could turn your head around it would help a lot But there you sit with the blues on your mind It keeps you stumblin' all the time If only you could get together more often Get together with yourself for real Instead of just goofin' So that everything you do you're into it all by yourself But there you sit with the blues in your mind Waitin' for somebody to say you're right Tryin' to find somebody to take your life You stepped outside and you were feelin' fine There's new things you must do But all those people make it hard to know who you are And they're bound that they should say what you should do And there you sit with the blues in your mind That keeps you stumblin' all the time If only you could get together more often Get together with yourself for real Instead of just goofin' So that everything you do you're into it all by yourself But there you sit with the blues in your mind Waitin' for somebody to say you're right Tryin' to find somebody to take your life
