Sick Man Blues - Bobby Long

The darkness hides your eyes

Though it’s not for me to tell

You never treat me kind

You think I’m unwell

It’s such a shame

It’s such a shame

You tried to give me up and flirted with my time

I guess you broke the promise

You made somewhere down the line

Oh, you’re a struggle

Oh, you’re a struggle

You paid for all my pills that left me in the past

You were a good girl, honey

You just couldn’t make it last

And your love carries the rhinestone of a plague

So bear in mind the lives that you could save

'Cause I’m bound to walk the darkness again

And I’m bound to walk the darkness again

I know I’m not that easy to live with day to day

If you painted your own picture

Then I’d let you have your say

Yeah, I’m a sinner

Whoa, I’m a sinner

But my love, it sits untainted to the rigors of your stare

There ain’t anybody like you

And the fairness of your hair leaves me stranded

It leaves me stranded

This life it’s too long, too long for me to keep

You should bear that in mind and try the pain you reap

That you reap

That you reap

And your love carries the rhinestone of a plague

So bear in mind the lives that you could save

Your love carries the rhinestone of a plague

So bear in mind the lives that you could save

That you could save

'Cause I’m bound to walk the darkness again

And I’m bound to walk the darkness again

And I’m bound to walk the darkness again
