What’s the Matter with Me

[Verse 1]
As I walked down by the river, down by the silver stream
My head kept wondering back, to all the things I've done and seen
To faces, places, lands and scenes forgotten in my mind
Dreams and mem'ries buried deep, a long time left behind

[Refrain]
Hey, what's the matter with me?
Hey, what's the matter with me?

[Verse 2]
The dust clouds were a-rollin', fallin' fast and deep
Takin' all the sunbeams, darin' them to sleep
But the wind it wasn't blowin', like a lonesome baby cryin'
Blowin' hard behind me, pushin' down the line

[Refrain]
Hey, what's the matter with me?
Hey, what's the matter with me?

[Verse 3]
Oh, the road is long and dusty, it's a rough road to ride
There's gold in its horizon, but there's pitfalls by its side
Yet there's something that's a-pushin' me, it's howlin' from behind
Train whistle blowin', think I'll head on down the line

[Refrain]
Hey, what's the matter with me?
Hey, what's the matter with me?
