Hey Mister

My head's hanging low and my shoes are worn I've had the blues in my soul since the day I was born The devil's been on my back now for quite some time Yeah, it's just been me and him, and the whispering wind And it's, it's time to find a little peace of mind I said, "Hey mister, hey, if you're going my way I could sure use a ride out of this place Hey mister, hey, he's coming around And I could sure use a ride out of this town 'Cause it's a long way, down to the bottom It's a long way to get back on top" I said, "Hey mister, hey, going my way I could sure use a ride out of this place" I've been looking for a sign, looking for a friend Been looking at the same dead eyes in the mirror Watching myself go down a dead end I've been waiting on a prayer that never made it to God Yeah, it's like going through hell on a Sunday But then going through hell's about all I got I said, "Hey mister, hey, if you're going my way I could sure use a ride out of this place Hey mister, hey, he's coming around And I could sure use a ride out of this town 'Cause it's a long way down to the bottom It's a long way to get back on top" I said, "Hey mister, hey, going my way I could sure use a ride out of this place"
