I Got Troubles On My Mind

That mean old August sun he just keeps on beating me down The heat I am sweating from makes me look like I have drown A swig of water from a jug an old rag to wipe my face And Mr. Sun is smiling snug it's only time I need to erase I got troubles on my mind and a world of endless time No matter what I do my thoughts linger back to you Can a sin be amended can a wrong be suspended Nothing matters anymore my life is spoken for Dig a ditch, shovel a path hit a rock, breaking your back Long in the heat a body shimmers like a ghost glows in ember Never forget but refuse to remember that for your love myself surrendered Chained and locked away in time I got troubles on my mind
