trouble and strife are all that I know
blues are gonna follow everywhere that I go
haven't got time to wander and play
all of my live been squandered away

ain't much time to try to find a
way to leave this all behind
hope before I'm gone I'll find a
way to ease my troubling mind
try to ease my troubling mind

all of my life have I been alone
waiting for love to carry me home
all of us live to finally fall
nothing much seems to matter at all

all my life I've searched for something
wander in this world alone
have I lost my chance to find the
way for love to carry me home

didn't know what life would offer
happiness so hard to find
hope the day will come to find a
way to ease my troublin' mind
try to ease my troublin' mind

all of my life have I been alone
waiting for love to carry me home
trouble and strife are all that I know
guess they're gonna follow wherever I go
