Lyrics John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp

Each Day of Sorrow

Well I ain’t been baptized

I ain’t got no church

No friend in Jesus

And what makes matters worse

I’ve lost myself

Into the dark

Scared and alone

With no love in my heart

Each day of sorrow

Brings me closer to goodbye

If I weren’t so afraid

I’d lay down and die

I guard it so closely

What I feel in my soul

And when I received love

I just let it go

And I called out for help

I found myself alone

Did I believe anything?

I don’t know

Each day of sorrow

Brings me closer to goodbye

If I weren’t so afraid

I’d lay down and die

So all of you angels

Don’t waste your words

Dog-gone my soul

I aint’ no good

This life is too much trouble

For a fellow like me

If I had something to give you

I’d give it to you for free

Each day of sorrow

Brings you closer to goodbye

If I weren’t so afraid

I’d lay down and die

Well I ain’t been baptized

I ain’t got no church
