Lyrics
Awful Feeling
Yeah you know I got an awful feeling
Yeah you know I guess I feel like screaming
Kind of feeling like a dead man walking
Never been to good at rapid talking
Cops have busted me for possession – say I’m gonna learn a life long lesson
I got an awful feeling
Hey you know I got an awful notion
Feels like I’m drowning in the ocean
Don’t know where I’m gonna sleep tomorrow
Never thought I’d find me this much sorrow
My girl left home with my best friend – I’m afraid I’m never gonna see him again
I got an awful feeling
Chorus
I’ve been doing lots of drinking - I’ve been lying on your floor
To oblivion I’m sinking and I just can’t take no more
Feels lately I’ve been carrying such a heavy load
If things don’t change or rearrange I think I might explode
Bridge
I’ve been feeling pretty ugly cause my momma didn’t love me
And her dog keeps on pissing on my shoes
She said marry me or get on out
Now baby I’m not one to pout
But anyway I look at this I lose
Yeah you know I got an awful sensation
Feeling like the low of creation
Feeling so down like I can’t get up
Crushed by the weight of the shit in my cup
Feeling so down an persecuted - this way I have not eluded
I got an awful feeling
Chorus
