You know life can be so sad Sometimes you just sit right down and cry You know life can be so sad Sometimes you just sit right down and you cry Sometime your luck it gets so bad Maybe you'd be better off if you should die Yes I've tried so hard not to remember And people, I've tried so hard to forget I've tried so hard not to remember And people, I've tried so hard to forget But I can't stop my mind wandering Back to the days I was just a down-trodden kid Some folks have such a good life You know, they just get on that big train and they ride You know some folks have such a good life They just get on that big train and they ride I would spend most of my days Running and hiding from the world outside If I ever get to Heaven You know, that sure would ease my worried mind Yes, if I ever get to Heaven That sure would ease my worried life You know, when I find that place in the sky People, I'm gonna leave this old world behind
