You woke up this morning Got yourself a gun Mama always said, \"You'd be The chosen one\"
She said, \"You're one in a million You've got to burn to shine\" But you were born under a bad sign With a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning All the love has gone Your papa never told you About right and wrong
But you're looking good, baby I believe you're feeling fine (Shame about it) Born under a bad sign With a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning The world turned upside down Thing's ain't been the same Since the blues walked into town
But you're one in a million You've got that shotgun shine Born under a bad sign With a blue moon in your eyes
When you woke up this morning Everything you had was gone By half past ten Your head was going ding-dong image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif
Ringing like a bell From your head down to your toes Like a voice telling you There was something you should know
Last night you were flying But today you're so low Ain't it times like these That make you wonder
If you'll ever know the meaning Of things as they appear to the others Wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers Don't you wish you didn't function
Wish you didn't think beyond The next paycheck and the next little drink Well, you do so make up your mind to go on 'Cause when you woke up this morning Everything you had was gone
When you woke up this morning When you woke up this morning When you woke up this morning Mama said, \"You'd be the chosen one\"
When you woke up this morning When you woke up this morning When you woke up this morning You got yourself a gun
