David Wilcox - Down Inside Yourself Lyrics
Somewhere deep in the midwestThere's a middle aged man in a midsize carDriving down the middle of the roadIn the middle of the nightHe's in the middle of his mid-life crisisAnd he just decides that he can't go homeSo he turns the car around and he drives to the airportHe flies to New York City where he makes connections for LondonWhere he makes connections for IndiaWhere he gets on a train to go to the mountainTo see the wise manYou know the oneThe one with the answer for that hole in his heartWell anyway, he climbs the mountainAnd he sees the wise man come out of the village to greet himHe's no dummy, he knows he was comingAnd he musters up all his fear and anguishAnd he saysHelp me shake this nightmareThe funk has found my heartI need to move my spiritBut I don't know where to startI need to fill this emptyBut I can't find the missing partI'm just down inside myselfAnd the wise man says, "ah,I used to think the blues were strong because they're trueAnd when they come to get you, there's nothing you can doBut now I think that's nonsense and I've got news for youYou're just down inside yourselfThere's times when you've been hopefulAnd times when you were strongNow you say that's foolishLike your happiness was wrongIt's like you've never seen the sunshineWhen a gray sky comes alongYou're just down inside yourself"And the middle-aged man, he'd heard some, you knowBut he had some questionsAnd he was just about to speakWhen he was interrupted again"Well never mind the questions nowYou don't have to be so wiseHey, your problem ain't philosophySo get it down to sizeRight now it's phisiologicalIn a logical disguiseYou're just down inside yourselfBut the blues is not your final judgementIt's no deep or evil powerHey the cure is very simpleAnd it works in half an hourGet some sleep, eat some broccoliRun a mile, take a showerYou're just down inside yourselfYou're just down inside yourself"
