Somethin rescued me from wandering
what lead me through the door
was a mystery
leave whoever you think you are
where you left your shoes
Cause baby you don't know a goddamn thing
bout why you got the blues
got the blues and I
got the blues and why
chorus
(let me tell you how it happens)
You medicate just to feel the pain
just go away
You spend your better days
just a livin' like a slave
it all goes to waste
so much goes to waste
I bet you wanna know now
how I got it down
on its knees for while
its been storming awhile
Twas the thick of the winter that made my head ring
January reckons I'll bring
a bag of bones
I was a bag of bones
chorus repeat
Then I heard somebody say
If you want it all you're bound to fall within
The company of slaves
That never knew that they could break away
They never knew
