1989 Blues lyrics
by Daniel Johnston
[Verse]
I got the worried blues
And I don't know what to do
It seems my dreams
Have been tarnished by events
And I think of you
And I hope that we aren't done
You're the one I need
To get me through a lonely lifetime
Some of the things they said
Well they might have been true
But I really don't
Appreciate it so much
[Chorus]
Just yesterday I had so much to say
Seemed like people wanted to listen
But now today nobody wants to
Have a thing to do with me
[Verse]
And I'm so sad
Everything has turned out bad
And I tried so hard
But goofed up somehow
I just want you to know
I didn't mean no harm on purpose
But they turned it into a circus
Just to put me down
But I'm still around
Maybe I'll have another chance
To turn the tables
And be a hero in the end
[Chorus]
Just yesterday I had so much to say
Seemed like people wanted to listen
But now today nobody wants to
Have a thing to do with me
[Verse]
And so I'm singing
The 1989 blues
But I'm looking forward to
A better future for me and you
And now comes
The end of this song
Some of the things I did might've been wrong
But it's only because I was out of my mind
[Outro]
The 1989 blues
