Wonder Why I Feel So Bad Songtext
von Tony Joe White

Woke up this morning, didn′t wanna leave my bed
I will wrestle with my pillow, I knew I couldn't stay there
I was dreaming about a ship, but I don′t think it's ever coming in
I don't know where I′m going, and I hope it ain′t where I've been
Lord, I wonder why I feel so bad


I′ve been spending the days watching the cloud go by
Tryna keep from thinking how I'm gonna make it through the night
I could reach for the whiskey, reach for the pills
But I′d have to face the morning, and the cheapness of the thrill
And lord, I'm wondering why I feel so bad, bad (bad), bad

So many memories, no good in looking back
Tryna walk on this good earth, but I ain′t leaving no tracks
Searching for the feeling to be a child again
I can almost smell the river, river on my skin, yeah, skin

Lord, I'm wondering why I feel so bad
Can't stop these thoughts running through my head
Lord, I′m wondering why I feel so bad
