Lying here for hours   Can't get my eyes to close   Can't get one moment's peace   To save my dog-gone soul      I've been doin' more than drinkin'   Tryin' to ease my pain   Everywhere I go   Somebody speaks your name      Oh my friends keep on askin'   Boy what's wrong with you?   I say I'm worried   Worried down with the blues      Try to be a good man   Work my fingers to the bone   And you return the favor   By messing up my happy home      You played so many dirty tricks   Till I lost my faith in you   Now you want me to take you back   What's a poor man supposed to do?      Worried down with the blues   Oh, yes I am   Worried down with the blues   Oh, I feel like I was born to lose      Used to walk with pride with my head held high   Now I'm starin' down at my shoes   Yes I am worried   Worried down with the blues      You made me turn my back   On my very best friend   And when my back was turned   You were messin' around with him      I'd give up everything   To have you by my side   'Cause in the cold, cold night when I reach for you   I'm holdin' to my foolish pride      Worried down with the blues   Oh, yes I am   Worried down with the blues   Feel like I was born to lose      Used to walk with pride with my head held high   Now I'm starin' down at my shoes   Yes I am worried   Worried down with the blues, oh yeah
