Mid City Blues

(from the CD An Angel Somewhere)

Sometimes I'm like a king
Upon a throne
Sometimes I'm like a dog
Chasing a bone
Sometimes I'm high
Sometimes I'm way down low
Sometimes I've got a million friends
Sometimes I've got no place to go.

I've been to Paraguay
I've been to Spain
I've been around the world
And round again
I've been below the ocean
I've been above the sky
I've been so high I couldn't laugh
I've been so low I couldn't cry.

Cry, cry, cry,
Cry baby if you can
You've got good reason to cry
If you're a woman
Good reason to cry
If you're a man.

You deal the cards
You throw the dice
You dream your dreams
You live your life
It's like a paradise
It's like a prison yard
Sometimes it's easy
Sometimes it's oh so hard.
