Worried Down the Blues Songtext
von The Allman Brothers Band

I′m lying here for hours
Can't get my eyes to close
Can′t get one moments peace
To save my dog-gone soul
I've been doin' more than drinkin′
Tryin′ to ease my pain
Everywhere I go
Somebody speaks your name
Oh my friends keep on askin'
Boy what′s a wrong with you
I say I'm worried
Worried down with the blues


Try to be a good man
Work my fingers to the bone
Oh and you return the favor
By reckin′ oh a happy home
Why'd you play so many dirty tricks
I lost my faith in you
And now you want me to take you back
What′s a poor man supposed to do?

I am worried down with the blues
Oh yes, I am
I am worried down with the blues oh yeah
I feel like I was born to lose
I used to walk with pride and my head held high
And now I'm starin' down at my shoes
Yes, I am worried
Worried down with the blues

You made me turn my back
On my very best friend
And when my back was turned
You were messin′ around with him
Still I′d give up everything
Just to have you by my side
In the cold cold nights when I reach for you
I'm holdin′ to my foolish pride


I am worried down with the blues
Oh yes, I am
I am worried down with the blues oh yea
I feel like I was born to lose
I used to walk with pride and my head held high
And now I'm starrin′ down at my shoes
Yes, I am worried
Worried down with the blues
