Woke up early this morning   Something wrong inside my head   Took a look around for breakfast   First thing I see is you're not there      Oh, where were you, where were you?   Where were you when I needed you?   Where were you, where were you   When I needed you to see me through?      Oh, something wrong, now what?s gone wrong here   Looked in the mirror, broken white   Lucky to be alive and kicking   Kicking a lot of life around here      But where were you, where were you?   Where were you when I needed you?   Where were you, where were you   When I needed you to see me through?      Ah, darling, darling, darling, I need you   Darling, darling, darling, I do   Darling, darling, darling, I need you   Yes, you know I do      Shefton brought me the message   Said you got out at Galveston   Church of Christ Jesus, Kentucky   Rattlesnakes and strychnine and prayer      Oh, where were you, where were you?   Where were you when I needed you?   Where were you, where were you   When I needed you to see me through      Oh darling, darling, darling, I need you   Darling, darling, darling, I do   Darling, darling, darling, I need you   Yes, you know I do
