"Dead Man's Blues" lyrics

"Dead Man's Blues"

Goin' through my life, day by day
Wonderin' why and what road it'll take
Sometimes low and sometimes high
I'm gotta find a reason to live by

Well I've been searching far and wide
Over the water beyond the sky
And I've been watching the moon above
Smiling down at me, what's he thinkin' of

What's he thinkin' way up in the sky
Bet he could tell me where my future lies

There ain't no promise, no guarantee
Ain't no wisdom being laid on me
And it's a low-down, dirty shame
But I gotta find the answer just the same

I ain't foolin' around
Nobody cares
I'm gonna find that now
Oh, I'm going to find it, uh uh
Woo hoo hoo

Well I've been playin' the dead man's blues
And now I need a drink, it's going to be on you
The day of judgment ain't far away
But who'll be the judge, it's hard to say
Hmm, yeah that's hard to say
