From the recording Big Change Coming

Lyrics

I was walkin' through this road of life
I was happy as I can
But then you showed up
And took the joy away from the man

This was gonna be a happy trip
Until you came along
Now I gotta listen to your lip
Until everything is gone

I don't know what I'm doin'
Lord, you laid my life to ruin
I don't know what I'm doin'
Lord, you laid my life to ruin

I used to get up
Listen for the opening bell
Now the sun's behind the clouds
And my life's a living hell

I used to see the light
In everything I did
Now all I see is black
And it's you I wanna rid

I don't know what I'm doin'
Lord, you laid my life to ruin
I don't know what I'm doin'
Lord, you laid my life to ruin

We used to run around
Without a care in the world
Ran through life like on a cloud
What happened to my girl?

[Instrumental]

We used to run around
Without a care in the world
Ran through life like on a cloud
What happened to my girl?

I don't know what I'm doin'
'Cause Lord, you laid my life to ruin
I don't know what I'm doin'
'Cause Lord, you laid my life to ruin
