And I know God is my shield and He won't lead me astray
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Tomorrow night before the sun goes down
Well, I'm tired of talkin', I'm tired of tryin' to explain
I just don't know what to do
If I'm still among the livin', I'll be Dixie bound
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Well, my house is on fire, burnin' to the sky
And I feel like I'm comin' to the end of my way
I just don't know what I'm gonna do
Still, I don't know what I'm gonna do
When I'm gone you will remember my name
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Well, I thought it would rain but the clouds passed by
Sweat pourin' down, I'm starin' at the floor
Nothing can heal me now but your touch
Girls like birds, flyin' away
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you
Still, I just don't know what I'm gonna do
My attempts to please ya, they were all in vain
My eyes feel like they've fallen off my face
I'm gonna win my way to wealth and fame
Yet, I just don't know what I'm gonna do
Well, junk's pilin' up, takin' up space
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much
I'm thinkin' about that girl who won't be back no more
Boys in the street beginnin' to play
