Nothing On My Mind

Lyrics for Nothing On My Mind

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 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 Woah, 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 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 Woah, 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 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 Woah, 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 In the winter's cold my young lover grew old With a pain inside her chest Through each dreary hour all that was sweet turned sour Then we laid her soul to rest 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 But I know it's all a lie But I know it's all a lie
