You were on my mind this morning you were on my mind today
We had our good times together we sure had our special ways
I guess those happy days are gone now just like water through my hands
Wonder if I’ll ever see you ever kiss your lips again

If you hear me and I’m singing some old lonesome song like this
You’ll know I’m not over you and I am longing for your kiss
Wish that I could linger longer sit down in some evening shade
But you know I have to ramble guess that’s just the way I’m made

You were on my mind this morning you were on my mind today
We had our good times together we sure had our special ways

Things were going good and I was flush and I was fancified
Threw it all away on women whiskey cards dice and wine
I will roll and I will tumble I will rise and fall again
Ridin’ on this roller coaster doesn’t ever seem to end

I will leave this town this mornin’ I will leave this town today
If I thought you’d have me back I would soon be on my way
The lame would get up start to walkin’ and the blind would somehow see
If ever I forgot about you all the things you meant to me

You were on my mind this morning you were on my mind today
We had our good times together we sure had our special ways
