Well, you woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun
Your mama always said youd be the chosen one
She said, youre one in a million, youve got to burn to shine
But you were born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes
And you woke up this morning
All that love had gone
Your papa never told you about right and wrong
But youre looking good, baby
I believe youre feeling fine (shame about it)
Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes
Because you woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
Woke up this morning
You got a blue moon in your eyes
Well, you woke up this morning
The world turned upside down
Lord above, things aint been the same since Howlin Wolf walked into your town
But youre one in a million, youve got that shotgun shine
Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning
You got a blue moon in your eyes
Woke up this morning
You got a blue moon in your eyes
When you woke up this morning everything was gone
By half past ten your head was going ding-dong
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
Like a voice trying to tell you theres something you should know
Last night you were flying but today youre so low
Aint it times like these that make you wonder if youll ever know
The meaning of things as they appear to the others
Wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers
Dont you wish you didnt function, dont you wish you didnt think beyond the next paycheck
And the next little drink?
Well, you do, so make up your mind to go on cause when you woke up this morning
Everything you had was gone, everything you had was gone
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning, you want to be, you want to be the chosen one tonight
Yes, you know, because you just get help yourself
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
You got yourself a gun, got yourself a gun, got yourself a gun
