歌詞
[Verse 1]
Oh, worries are about and heavy on his gut
He feels he's bein' punished for the bad things that he's done
Help him, Jesus, help him, send him down a sign
'Cause he feels he's gettin' old before his time
[Verse 2]
And he's sitting at the table, the table he has set
He's beggin' for the courage to redeem some self respect
Help him, Jesus, help him, walk along the line
'Cause he feels he's gettin' old before his time
[Verse 3]
He says it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
He's worried now, but he won't be worried long
[Verse 4]
He broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
Oh, he broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
When she heard what he had to say, all that sun soon went away
He broke her heart on a cold and rainy day
[Verse 5]
He says it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
He's worried now, but he won't be worried long
[Verse 6]
And so he moves towards his sweet, redeeming light
Shadows cast, but none obscure his sight
And they'll wonder where he's going, while he's knelt before her throat
Refusing to go down without a fight
[Verse 7]
He says it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
And he's worried now, but he won't be worried long
