I feel like ole’ man blues is after me
Giving chase like a mugger after a mark
Like I’m alone in the dark and wide open
Gotta keep movin’ ‘cause it seems like
misery is doggin’ my heals
and it’s so easy to just stay still
and let it overtake me
I feel like I just escaped and still
he’s comin’ to take me down if I’m not careful
I get busy and stay busy
Keep movin’ and stay movin’ ‘cause I know
he’s right around the corner
in the dark alleys of my mind
waiting for the right moment
the right corner to hem me up
and jack me for all my joy
rob me for all I’m worth
I feel like he’s on a mission
Like he knows how low I’ve been
And can’t stand to see
a brother break free
I feel like I can hear his footfalls
Creepin’ up from the dark recesses of my mental
After me like I got something that belongs to him
But I ain’t trying to be no victim
No statistic
I know I gotta keep on movin’ in the right direction
I see light just up ahead
Always just up ahead but I gotta keep movin’
Knowing if I stay on the right path
I’ll get there
And finally lose ole’ man blues
With all of his sorrow and misery
Pain and affliction
Worry and doubt
I think he knows that I’m just about
out…
