Trouble in Mind
Shadows in Blue: Unveiling the Troubled Melody
Lyrics
Troubled in mind, I'm little blue
Troubled in mind, feeling a bit down
Bet you I won't be blue always
Confident that the sadness won't last forever
'Cause that ol' sun's gonna shine
Hopeful because the sun will shine
On Jerry lee Lewis's back door step someday
Reference to Jerry Lee Lewis, suggesting hope for better times
I'm gonna lay my head
Expressing a desire to find solace
On somebody's lonesome railroad line
Choosing a solitary place, perhaps to reflect
Let that ol' midnight special
Referencing the "midnight special," a train that could bring relief
Ease my troubled mind
Hoping for peace of mind from the troubles
Well, they tell me that old graveyard
Describing a graveyard as a lonely place
Is a mighty lonesome place
Emphasizing the solitude of the graveyard
Lo0rd they put you six feet under
Highlighting the finality of death, buried six feet under
Shovellin' mud directly in your face
Painting a grim picture of burial
Will, goodbye baby, may God bless you
Bidding farewell to a loved one and wishing blessings
And may He bless ol' killer a little bit too
Wishing blessings even for someone referred to as a "killer"
Oh, don't meet you over yonder, baby
Expressing a desire not to meet in the afterlife
When they throw that Jerry right over you
Reference to Jerry, suggesting an unfavorable fate
Troubled in mind, when I'm little blue
Reiteration of feeling troubled and blue
Bet you I won't be blue always
Confident that the troubles won't persist
Cause the sun's gonna shine
Reiterating hope due to the shining sun
On, on my back doorstep
Referencing the sun shining on the speaker's back doorstep
Some lowdown, lonesome, mother humpin' day
Anticipating a difficult and lonesome day in the future
