Lyrics

You were on my mind this morning, you were on my mind today We had our good times together, we sure had our special way I guess those happy days are gone now, just like water through my hand Wonder if I'll ever see you, ever kiss your lips again If you hear me and I'm singin' some old lonesome song like this You'll know I'm not over you, and I am longing for your kiss Wish that I could linger longer, sit down in some evening shade But you know I have to ramble, guess that's just the way I'm made You were on my mind this morning, you were on my mind today We had our good times together, we sure had our special way Things were goin' good, and I was flush and I was fancy fine Threw it all away on women, whiskey, cards, dice, and wine I will roll, and I will tumble, I will rise and fall again Ridin' on this rollercoaster, doesn't ever seem to end You were on my mind this morning, you were on my mind today We had our good times together, we sure had our special way I would leave this town this mornin', I would leave this town today If I thought you'd have me back, I would soon be on my way The lame would get up, start to walkin', the blind would somehow see If ever I forgot about you, all the things you meant to me
