You know life can be so sad

Sometimes you just sit right down and cry

You know life can be so sad

Sometimes you just sit right down, and you cry



Sometime your luck it gets so bad

Maybe you'd be better off if you should die

Yes I've tried so hard not to remember

And people I've tried so hard to forget

I've tried so hard not to remember

And people I've tried so hard to forget



But I can't stop my mind wandering

Back to the days I was just a down trodden kid

Some folks have such a good life

You know they just get on that big train, and you ride

You know some folks have such a good life

They just get on that big train, and you ride



I would spend most of my days

Running and hiding from the world outside

If I ever get to heaven

You know, that sure would ease my worried mind

Yes, if I ever get to heaven

That sure would ease my worried life

You know when I find that place in the sky

People I'm gonna leave this old world behind
