[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 3]
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

[Chorus 4]
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 going to leave this old world behind
