Awful Dreams - Tony Joe White

Have you ever looked over a mountain

One you ain’t never seen

Have you ever looked over a mountain

A mountain you’ve never seen

Have you ever laid down on your bed

And had one of them old lonesome dreams

Awful dreams

Sound like the world was coming to an end

Somebody had passed and dropped a bomb

You know they tell me that this world is tangled now

And them things should have come

Lord, they should have come

But I don’t know, God knows I don’t

Teach me, teach me

You know a little bird was singin'

It was cloudy, looked like it was gon' rain

Yeah, a little bird was singin'

And it looked like it was rain

Look like everything that happens in this town

They say I’m to blame

Just one more time it will be fair

You can tell by the ring of the bell

I don’t know where I’m going

To Heaven or Hell

But they say it may fail

No more storm, no more storm

Well now
