When yer head twisted and yer mind grows numb When you think too old, too young, too smart or too dumb When yer laggin' behind an' yer pace In a slow-motion crawl of life's busy No matter what yer if you start givin' up If the wine don't to the top of yer cup If the wind's got you sideways with with one hand on And the other starts slipping and the is gone And yer train engine needs a new spark to catch it And the wood's findin' but yer lazy to fetch it And yer sidewalk starts and the street gets too long And you start walkin' backwards though you its wrong And lonesome comes up as down the day And tomorrow's mornin' seems so far And you feel the from yer pony are slippin' And yer rope is a-slidin' yer hands are a-drippin' And yer sun-decked and evergreen valleys Turn to broken slums and trash-can alleys And yer sky cries and yer drain pipe's a-pourin' And the lightnin's a-flashing and the thunder's And the windows are rattlin' and breakin' and the roof a-shakin' And yer whole world's and bangin' And yer of sun turn to hours of storm And to you sometimes say "I never knew it was be this way Why didn't they me the day I was born" And you start gettin' chills and yer from sweat And lookin' for somethin' you ain't quite found yet And yer knee-deep in the dark with yer hands in the air And the whole world's with a window peek stare And yer good gal leaves and she's gone a-flying And yer heart feels sick like when they're fryin' And yer jackhammer from yer hand to yer feet And you need it badly but it lays on the And yer bell's bangin' but you can't hear its beat And you think yer ears a been hurt Or yer eyes've turned filthy the sight-blindin' dirt And you figured you failed in yesterdays When you were faked out an' fooled facing a four flush And all the time you were three queens And it's makin you mad, it's makin' you in the middle of Life magazine Bouncin' around a pinball And something on yer mind you wanna be saying That somebody someplace be hearin' But it's trapped on yer and sealed in yer head And it you badly when your layin' in bed And no how you try you just can't say it And yer to yer soul you just might forget it And yer eyes get from the tears in yer head And yer pillows of turn to blankets of lead And the lion's mouth opens and yer staring at his And his start closin with you underneath And yer on your belly with yer hands tied behind And you wish you'd never taken that detour sign And you say to just what am I doin' On this road I'm walkin', on this I'm turnin' On curve I'm hanging On this I'm strolling, in the space I'm taking In this air I'm Am I mixed up too much, am I mixed up too Why am I walking, where am I am I saying, what am I knowing On this guitar I'm playing, on banjo I'm frailin' On this mandolin I'm strummin', in the song I'm In the tune I'm hummin', in the words I'm In the words that I'm In this of hours I'm all the time drinkin' Who am I helping, what am I What am I giving, am I taking But you try with your soul best Never to think thoughts and never to let Them of thoughts gain ground Or make yer heart But then again you know why around Just for a chance to slip and drop down "Cause sometimes you hear'em when the night comes creeping And you fear that might catch you a-sleeping And you from yer bed, from yer last chapter of dreamin' And you remember for the best of yer thinking If that was you in the dream was screaming And you know that it's something special you're And you know that there's no that'll do for the healin' And no in the land to stop yer brain from bleeding And you need special Yeah, you need something special all You a fast flyin' train on a tornado track To shoot you someplace and you back You a cyclone wind on a stream engine howler That's been banging and booming and blowing That knows yer troubles a hundred over You a Greyhound bus that don't bar no race won't laugh at yer looks Your voice or face And by any number of bets in the Will be rollin' long after the craze You need to open up a new door To show you something you seen But a hundred times or more You need something to your eyes You need something to make it it's you and no one else that owns That spot that yer standing, that space you're sitting That the world ain't got you That it ain't got you It can't get you crazy no how many Times you get kicked You need something all right You something special to give you hope But hope's just a That maybe you or maybe you heard On some windy corner 'round a wide-angled
But what you need man, and you need it bad And yer trouble is you it too good "Cause you look an' you start the chills
