You're Supposed to Be Feeling Good

(Rodney Crowell)



Soul mate I see you down there waiting

For mornin' to softly be comin'

I find I'm only in deeper and you'd be a leaver

If you waren'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.



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.

Soul mate the blues are deceiving

It keeps us believeing 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...
