Dr. John
I look for joy in a strange placeFrom the back of the barFrom afarI see the look on my mama's faceWhen her son's in the corner, undone
She says that my life is over"Boy, you don't know what you got till it's goneCome put your head upon my shoulder"She gave me her hand, but I ignored her
Oh, Dr. JohnWhat am I doingWhat am I doing wrong?Cuz I keep on tryingSomething ain't goingSomething ain't going onOh, Dr. John
