What's wrong
With
These worries?

What's troubling
My
Mind?

Lately you know
Time ain't been feeling
Like
It's on
My side.

Got a lady
She's dressed in blue.

Got a lady
Born down on the bayou.

Got a lady
Oh'

What to do
What to do
What to do

When she's acting
This or that a way...

What's a simple man
To do?

Just the other day
I asked her to stay the night
Oh' she left quick
Oh she left
In quite
A fright

I rang her doorbell
The next day
And her father Bo' answered...
Boy'
You know I was through

He asked, What you doing round' here?
What you need?

I turned myself around and
Redefined the word speed

A week passed
Without a word
From her
My phone sat on my nightstand
As if it were dead

My days were:
Wake up
Go to work
Go home
And go to bed.

You know
Now I see
Whats been troubling my
Mixed up mind...

You know
Now I see
What's been eatin' up
All my time

You know
I think
I'll never
Let
Myself

Tumble into love

Again.
