Trouble in Mind
Embracing Tomorrow's Sunshine: Johnny Cash's Resilience in 'Trouble in Mind'
Lyrics
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
Trouble in mind, feeling sad
But I won't be blue always
Optimistic outlook, believing the sadness won't last forever
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Hope for a brighter future, anticipating better times ahead
I'm going down to the river
Heading to the river, seeking solace or a change of scenery
I'm going top take me a rocking chair
Planning to sit and reflect, possibly to find peace
And if the blues don't leave me, I rock on away from here
Expressing determination to move on if the blues persist
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
Reiteration of feeling blue or troubled
But I won't be blue always
Reaffirming the temporary nature of the blues
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Anticipating the eventual arrival of happiness or relief
Trouble in mind, that's true
Acknowledging and confirming the presence of trouble or sadness
I have almost lost my mind
Expressing a significant mental struggle
Life ain't worth living, I feel like I could die
Feeling that life is unbearable, contemplating the idea of death
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
Reiteration of being troubled or sad
My poor heart is healing slow
Slow recovery of a wounded or broken heart
I've never had such trouble in my whole life before
Experiencing unprecedented difficulties in life
I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line
Contemplating a desperate action, possibly seeking escape
And let that two-nineteen special ease my troubled mind
Turning to a specific action, relying on a train to bring peace of mind
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
Acknowledging ongoing trouble or sadness
But I won't be blue always
Reiterating the temporary nature of the blues
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Anticipating a future where happiness will prevail
