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 you ride
 
 You know some folks have such a good life
 
 They just get on that big train, and you 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
