Guy Clark - Doctor Good Doctor lyrics

rate me

I was feelin' depressed I was feelin real low down

I felt so bad I could not get my butt up off the grounds

I was mopin' around the house I was bumpin' into walls

I was cryin' at the Andy Griffith show and I was snappin' and the dog

I was startin' to fear for my sanity

I could not find my ego with both hands

So I decided professional help was the only hope for me

So I called up this number which I'd gotten of T.V.

They said "Are you havin' marital problems Are you emotionally impaired

Are you sure you're bein' followed or Are you just scared of bein' scared?

Well if so you better come on in have a little talk with the doc"

So I did

I said doctor good doctor I got trouble on my mind

Listen to me doc I don't have too much time

I got a feelin' down inside me and it will not go away

You know it hangs on and bangs on my soul every day

Doctor good doctor I'm grabbin' at loose ends

And I haven't felt like I used to since I don't know when

Yesterday go past me today is all the same

And tomorrow really scares me I just can't play the game

He said quit whinin'

He said straighten up and fly right

He said life is not a piece of cake

He wanted to know if my insurance was paid up

Well I'm O.K. You're O.K. if the check's O.K.

Second best hundred dollars I ever spent
