Gregg Allman wrote this sorrowful song about unrealized dreams when he was living in Los Angeles. He left Georgia to get his music career going there, and wrote a bunch of songs before returning and forming The Allman Brothers Band with his brother Duane. This was the song that won over his bandmate...
[Verse 1]
Just one more mornin'
I had to wake up with the blues
Pulled myself outta bed, yeah
Put on my walkin' shoes
Went up on the mountain
To see what I could see
The whole world was fallin'
Right down in front of me
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm hung up on dreams I'll never see, yeah baby
Ah help me baby, or this will surely be the end of me, yeah
[Guitar Solo: Duane Allman]
[Verse 2]
Pull myself together, put on a new face
Climb down off the hilltop, baby
Get back in the race
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm hung up on dreams I'll never see, yeah baby, yeah
Ah help me baby, or this will surely be the end of me, yeah
[Verse 2]
Pull myself together, put on a new face
Climb down off the hilltop, baby
Get back in the race
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm hung up on dreams I'll never see, yeah baby, oh
Ah help me baby, or this will surely be the end of me, yeah
