I look for joy in a strange place

From the back of the bar

From afar

I see the look on my momma's face

When her son's in the corner undone

She says that my life is over

Oh boy you don't know what you got till it's gone

Come put your head upon my shoulder

She gave me her hand but I ignored her

Oh Dr John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong

Cause I Keep on trying

Something ain't going' something ain't going on

Oh Dr John

I look for joy in a strange place

In the back of the bar

From afar

I see the look on my Daddy's face

When his son's fallen over' undone

Father my life is over

I didn't know what I had now it's gone

Can I lay my head upon your shoulder

If I fall asleep will it be over

Oh Dr John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong

Cause I Keep on trying

Something ain't going' something ain't going on

Oh Dr John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong

Cause I keep on trying

Something ain't going' something ain't going on

You say I'm a big heartbreaker

But Dr I never hurt you

Oh Dr John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong

Cause I keep on trying

Something ain't going' something ain't going on

(Another day' another Break up)

We hold on and on'we hold on and on and on

(Another day' another wake up)

We hold on and on'we hold on and on and on

(Another day' another Break up)

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong

Cause I keep on trying

Something ain't going' something ain't going on

Oh Dr John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong

Cause I keep on trying

Something ain't going' something ain't going on

Dr John
