Wonder Why I Feel So Bad

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
