So Afraid

(album: Hurry Sundown - 1977)

Rumors been traveling since I've been out of town
Saying that you've had a another fella coming round
Think how you would feel if you were in my shoes
Understand it's a lonely man
Who's got these two-time blues

Well, I sure could use some whiskey
Or something for my nerves
'Cause I ain't stopped this shaking
Since I first heard the word
Everybody's seeing what's only mine to see
Somebody's head is on my pillow
Where mine's supposed to be

But you've got me so worried
That it all might be a waste of time
Oh, and I'm so afraid of knowing
You're no longer mine

But you've got me so worried
That it all might be a waste of time
Oh, and I'm so afraid of knowing
You're no longer mine

It didn't take me long
To see what you were all about
My bags are packed and I'm on my way
To catch the first train out
You might find a memory
That lay here in this song
When you say that this old boy's been
Away one day too long

But you've got me so worried
That it all might be a waste of time
Oh, and I'm so afraid of knowing
You're no longer mine

Woah, and I'm so afraid of knowing
You're no longer mine

Woah, and I'm so afraid of knowing
You're no longer mine
No, you're no longer mine
You're no longer mine
Woah, you're no longer mine
