Tryin' to Start Out Clean - Willie P.Bennet,
Well I left my baby and I don't care if I do
She was good to me and all of my friends, too
She used to come to me first 'cause she said her love was true
And it made me blue
Yeah it made me blue
Well sometimes I feel like a river gone 'round the bend
And when I reach the end, there's no one there to defend me
Well I got things in my brain that tend to tear me apart
Like a broken heart
Or tryin' to start out ... clean.
Well family and warm friends are what I used to admire
It made me think maybe I had more than just a desire
To go back home, but I set all my bridges on fire
And it made me blue
Yeah it made me blue
Well sometimes I feel like a river gone 'round the bend
And when I reach the end, there's no one there to defend me
Welll got things in my brain that tend to tear me apart
Like a broken heart
Or tryin' to start out ... clean
Yeah, you can kick in my back door
Hey come on in!
'Cause any friend who's a friend of mine won't mind being where l've been
l'd lend a hand if I had a helping hand to lend
But I fear the end
And it makes me blue
Well sometimes I feel like a river gone 'round the bend
And when I reach the end, there's no one there to defend me
Well I got things in my brain that tend to tear me apart
Like a broken heart
Or tryin' to start out ... clean
