Lyrics

Woke up this morning
 Went down to the store
 Man said " what you want son?"
 I said " just a little bit more"
 Cos I been working in the fields
 I been drunk in the town
 My eyes raised up to heaven
 But lord I keep falling down
 I'm tired and I'm troubled
 All tattered and torn
 My boot heels all busted
 My welcome out worn
 Still i get up every morning
 I work hard and I lie
 Sure would like to see just one thing
 Real pretty fore I die
 Maybe that's why I travel
 Why I wandered away
 Some things you don't rightly know
 Some you can't hardly say
 But I been all over Missouri
 And I been down to the sea
 And you know in my heart now
 You'll travel with me
 Through the hurt and the hoping
 The rain and the snow
 I ain't bitter or broken
 I want you to know
 For the few steps we shared
 For our time on the road
 Cuz to you I unburdened
 Just a bit of my load
 We each got our own troubles
 Our own ideas and beliefs
 And the Lord surely knows
 We done got our own griefs
 Still I got up this morning
 And I threw some clothes on
 And I fixed me some coffe
 Then I wrote you this song
