lyrics

Drifting off to sleep
another day wasted
nothing here to keep
Nothing new I've tasted
suddenly I'm up
full of dread and sorrow
do I do enough ?
how much debt do I owe

What in the world's a man supposed to do
when he wants to feel brand new
maybe I'll hop a train
and find some lover in Kentucky,
hell I'm not that lucky
so I'll stay here in Missouri
and sleep off the blues again

Heading off to work
another year older
boss is a jerk wrestling to stay sober
suddenly I'm awake
to this great big world around me
I'm just dying while I wait
for someone to say they found me

so what in the world's a man supposed to do
when he wants to feel brand new
maybe I'll drive to Maine
and find something there to gain
but I'm not insane
so I'll stay here in Missouri
and sleep off the blues again


I've only seen enough to know
what I can reach out and touch
from where I'm standing it ain't much
I've never wanted more
but I'm starting to adjust
dreaming for the first time
what a rush
Oh what a rush
Drifting off to sleep
with a brand new thought in my mind
There might be nothing here keep
but if I go out lookin I might find

What in the world a man's supposed to do
when he wants to feel brand new
maybe I'll take a plane all the way to Spain
maybe some day but until then
I'll stay here in Missouri
and sleep off the blues again
