Nothing On My Mind

[Chorus]
There’s nothing on my mind
But I just can’t keep from cryin
A reason, I have to find
But I know it’s all a lie

[Verse]
When I was a boy, I was filled with joy
My mother never had a chance
Her vacant stare saw something there
But I never caught a glance

[Chorus]
Wo-ah, there’s nothing on my mind
But I just can’t keep from cryin
A reason, I have to find
But I know it’s all a lie

[Verse]
My father was paid a pauper’s wage
All to make one man a king
And when he came home, I felt more alone
No one ever said a thing

[Chorus]
Oh, there’s nothing on my mind
But I just can’t keep from cryin
A reason, I have to find
But I know it’s all a lie

[Verse]
When I went to work as a postal clerk
I sold 700 stamps a day
My boss was kind, he treated me fine
But I hated him anyway

[Chorus]
Wo-ah, there’s nothing on my mind
But I just can’t keep from cryin
A reason, I have to find
But I know it’s all a lie

[Interlude]

[Verse]
In the winter’s cold, my own lover grew old
With a pain inside her chest
Through each dreary hour, all that was sweet turned south
Then we laid her soul to rest

[Chorus]
Oh, there’s nothing on my mind
But I just can’t keep from cryin
So a reason, I have to find
But I know it’s all a lie

[Outro]
But I know it’s all a lie
But I know it’s all a lie
