I was born on a Sunday But the sun didn't shine I was banned and cast away But men like me don't mind I lost my smile and found this frown But I find 'em all the time I can write you the wrong way But you gotta read my mind Won't you read my mind? Won't you read my mind? I took out before the war Wasn't fightin' for my kind I returned and I was loved When war had left their minds I was livin so damn hard I felt like I was dyin' I'm was dying so damn fast And wasn't even tryin' Wasn't even tryin'! Wasn't even tryin'! Whiskey took my throat away When a woman took my eyes Lost my soul when I was young To the devil in disuse All I gots what just got gone But it was just my time I hate the way I just passed through The passages of time Can you read my mind? Won't you read my mind!!!
