Dr. John
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I look for joy in a strange place
in the back of the bar
from afar
I see the look on my momma's face
when her son's in the corner undone
She says that my life is over
But boy you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand but I ignored her
oh Dr. John
What am I doing
When I'm wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John
I look for joy in a strange place
from the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my Daddy's face
When his son's fallen over, undone
Well father my life is over
Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder
If I fall asleep will it be over...
Oh Dr John
What am I doing
When I'm wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John
What am I doing
When I am wrong
Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
They say I'm a big heartbreaker
But doctor I've never hurt ya
It isn't that obvious?
Oh Dr John
What am I doing
When I'm wrong
Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh Dr John
I keep on trying
You're not alone
You're not alone
Oh Dr John
You're not alone
You're not alone
