Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just the other day, I heard my friend say
Life was oh so bad, love was all he had
You know all day long, I sing sad songs
Got the blues feel, things no doctor can heal
[Verse 2]
You know that's okay, I never change my ways
Maybe I am wrong, but I'll soon be gone
[Verse 3]
If I fail, no one can ever tell
And if I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone
[Verse 4]
If I fail, no one can ever tell
If I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone
[Verse 5]
I don't need no friends, I don't play no games
I need lots of room to roam, before I go home
You know someday, Lord, if things go my way
I'll have a son of my own, left here to carry on
[Verse 6]
If I fail, no one can ever tell
If I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone
[Verse 7]
Just the other day, I heard my friend say
Life would treat him so bad, love was all he had
You know all day long, I sing sad songs
Got the blues feel, things no doctor can heal
You know that's okay, I never, never change my ways
Maybe I am wrong, but I'll soon be gone
