I woke up this morning Got myself a gun, Mama always said I'd be the Chosen One.
One in a million I *believe I'm gonna* burn to shine, I was born under a bad sign, With a blue moon in my eyes.
And I Woke up this morning And all that love had gone, Papa never told me About right and wrong.
But I'm looking good, baby, I believe that I'm feeling fine, (shame about it), I was born under a bad sign With a blue moon in my eyes.
So help me now
Woke up this morning I got a blue moon in my eyes Woke up this morning I got a blue moon in my eyes
I woke up this morning The world turned upside down, Lord above, thing's ain't been the same Since the Blues walked in our town.
But I'm one in a million Cause I've got that shotgun shine; shame about it, Born under a bad sign, With a blue moon in my eyes.
Woke up this morning I Got a blue moon in my eyes (God demm shame about it) Woke up this morning I Got a blue moon in my eyes
I can't help myself
I woke up this morning everything was gone. By half past ten my head was going ding-dong. Ringing like a bell from your head down to my toes, Like a voice telling you there was something I should know. Last night I was flying but today I'm so low Ain't it times like these make me wonder if you'll ever know The meaning of things as they appear to the others: Wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. I wish you didn't function, And I wish you didn't think Beyond the next paycheck and the next little drink' Well you do so make up my mind to go on,'cos When I woke up this morning everything I had was gone.
Woke up this morning Woke up this morning Woke up this morning I wanna be the Chosen One.
Woke up this morning Woke up this morning Woke up this morning Got myself a gun. Got myself a gun. Got myself a gun.
