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 You know that's okay, I never change my ways Maybe I am wrong but I'll soon be gone If I fail no one can ever tell And if I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone If I fail no one can ever tell If I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone 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 If I fail no one can ever tell And if I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone 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
