Thinking lonely thoughts about tomorrow
Like my emptiness today
At how I know that the blues will haunt me
'Til I die or rambling' sets me straight
I do not doubt that you are really trying
It's just that I must break things down
I cannot see myself in your shoes
I've got to go and bring it back around
I'm here today and then I'm gone tomorrow
I'm like a packrat in disguise
I leave a song and I take your wine, truth
To spend the night alone beneath the sky
I'm now alone and I know I need to ramble
'Cause it's the call from deep inside
Away out there I'm sure am honest
For it's the strongest friend that I can find
Thinking lonely thoughts about tomorrow
Like my emptiness today
At how I know that the blues will haunt me
'Til I die or rambling' sets me straight
