Trouble in Mind
Sunshine After Blues: Finding Hope in Steppin' in It's 'Trouble in Mind'
Lyrics
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
Trouble in mind, feeling blue
But I won't be blue always,
Optimism about not being blue forever
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Belief that sunshine will come into life eventually
I'm going down to the river
Expressing a journey to the river
I'm going top take me a rocking chair
Planning to find solace in a rocking chair
and if the blues don't leave, I rock on away from here
If the blues persist, the intention is to rock away from the troubles
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
Reiteration of feeling blue due to trouble
But I won't be blue always,
Hopeful perspective that the blues won't last forever
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Reaffirmation of the belief in a brighter future
Trouble in mind, that's true
Acknowledgment of real trouble in the mind
I have almost lost my mind
Indication of nearly losing one's sanity
Life ain't worth living, I feel like I could die
Expressing despair and a feeling that life is not worth living
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
Continuation of feeling blue due to trouble
My poor heart is healing slow
Emphasizing slow healing of a broken heart
I've never had such trouble in my whole life before
Describing the unprecedented level of trouble experienced
I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line
Contemplation of seeking comfort on a lonesome railroad line
and let that 2:19 special ease my troubled mind
Wishing for a specific train to ease the troubled mind
Trouble in mind, I'm blue,
Reiteration of feeling blue due to trouble
But I won't be blue always
Optimistic perspective that the blues won't last forever
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday!
Belief that sunshine will eventually brighten life
