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
