Trouble in mind, i'm blue, but i won't be blue always
Sun's gonna shine in my backdoor someday

I'm gonna lay my head, on some cold old railroad iron
Let the 2:19 train pacify my mind

Trouble in mind, i'm blue, won't be blue always
Sun's gonna shine in my backdoor someday.

Trouble in mind, trouble in mind, i'm blue, almost lost, lost my mind
Sometimes i feel like livin' then again i feel like dyin'

Trouble in mind, i'm blue, my poor heart is beatin' slow
I never had so much trouble, in my doggone life before

I'm goin' down to the river, gonna take me a rockin'-chair
If this trouble don't leave me, gonna rock away from here

My good girl, she's done quit with me, sure does grieve my mind
Sometimes i feel like livin', an' again i feel, feel like cryin'
