Woke up early this morning Something wrong inside my head Took a look around for breakfast First thing I see is you're not there Oh where were you, where were you? Where were you when I needed you? Where were you, where were you? When I needed you to see me through? Oh something wrong, now what's gone wrong here Looked in the mirror, broken white Lucky to be alive and kicking Kicking a lot of life around here But where were you, where were you? Where were you when I needed you? Where were you, where were you? When I needed you to see me through? Ah, darling darling darling I need you Darling darling darling I do Darling darling darling I need you Yes you know I do Shefton brought me the message Said you got out at galveston Church of christ jesus, kentucky Rattlesnakes and strychnine and prayer Oh, where were you, where were you? Where were you when I needed you? Where were you, where were you? When I needed you to see me through Oh darling darling darling I need you Darling darling darling I do Darling darling darling I need you Yes you know I do
