The Way You Can Get

I know the way you can get
 When you ain't had a drink of love-when you can't see the stars above
 When people are greedy and mean-when only the worst can be seen
 When life take an ugly turn-when you refuse to learn
 When you lost what you had before-when yer lost in another store
 When you sleep in a strangers place-when you can't wash yer face
 When the wine is too sweet too soothe- when the groove is to blue to move
 When the bread is too stale to share-when the night is too long to care
 When trouble just follows you-when sorrow just swallows you
 When worry knocks on yer door-when sadness sleeps on yer floor
 When the soul hears a lonely sound-when God don't come around
