Wonder Why I Feel So Bad Tony Joe White

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, didn't wanna leave my bed
Wrestling 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'm wondering why I feel so bad

[Verse 2]
I've been spending the days watching the clouds go by
Trying to keep from thinking about 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
Lord, I'm wondering why I feel so bad, bad, bad, bad

[Verse 3]
So many memories, no good in looking back
Trying to 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
