(Rodney Crowell)

Soul mate, I see you down there
Waiting for morning to softly be coming
I find I'm only in deeper
And you'd be a leaver if you weren't so scared

Your true love has made you feel better
But look out for later when she makes you feel worse
Times change in daydreams and flashes
A taste of the past is all I have seen

But you're supposed to be feeling good now
'Cause everybody said you would
Honey, does it blow your mind
That the prophets would lie
Well you're supposed to be in your prime now
Not supposed to be wasting your time
Feeling like you're down and out
Over someone like me

Soul mate, the blues are deceiving
It keeps us believing we're on the wrong road
One side is just like the other
Except for the color and size of the load
And just how much it shows

But you're supposed to be feeling good now
'Cause everybody said you would
Honey, does it blow your mind
That the prophets would lie
You're supposed to be in your prime now
Not supposed to be wasting your time
Just feeling like you're down and out
Over someone like me
