The Way I Feel lyrics

In the cold winter rain On a wild mountain road Came a sound like thunder Screaming from below In the shack where I live Came a knock upon the door She sent Willie to tell me She ain't coming back no more And I ain't never been the same And I guess I never will I ain't never been the same And that's just the way I feel The way I feel Almost Christmas in the Highlands And the snow in coming down I swing my axe, split my wood And I gather things around For the long lonely season Laying straight ahead As I lay lonely longing To hold you in this bed And I ain't never been the same And I guess I never will I ain't never been the same And that's just the way I feel The way I feel Now the Earth is showing colors And birds are in the trees I till my ground, plant my corn And take honey from the bees Willie heard from her Mother Just a short time ago She married Herschel from the city That guy my Brother used to know And I ain't never been the same And I guess I never will I ain't never been the same And that's just the way I feel The way I feel
