Well don't ya go thinkin', and thinkin', and thinkin',
And thinkin' so much 'till you're stranded behind,
Don't ya go thinkin', and thinkin', and thinkin',
And thinkin' so much 'till you're losin' your mind.
There's so many depressions all plowed in your brain,
Trace 'em too far, and they'll drive you insane,
You're twisted so tight now, you hardly can talk,
Get out in the daylight and go for a walk.
And don't you go thinkin' and thinkin' and thinkin' and,
Thinkin' so much 'til you're stranded behind,
Don't you go thinkin' and thinkin' and thinkin' and,
Thinkin' so much till you're losin' your mind.
All the tension inside has gone through to your face,
You're flashin' your madness all over the place,
You stand in the hallway and try to explain,
I look in your eyes; I see shackles and chains, aw…
[Harmonica and Instrumental Bridge]
Hey don't you go thinkin' and thinkin' and thinkin' and,
Thinkin' so much 'til you're stranded behind,
Don't you go thinkin' and thinkin' and thinkin' and,
Thinkin' so much till you're losin' your mind.
You're chasin' some notion you've misunderstood,
You're tryin' so hard; can't you tell it's no good?
You an*lyze everything into a "No",
You're fallin' apart, you got nothing to show.
Hey, ya, ya, oh.
No, don't you go thinkin' and thinkin' and thinkin' and,
Thinkin' so much 'til you're stranded behind,
Don't you go thinkin' and thinkin' and thinkin' and,
Thinkin' so much till you're losin' your mind, aw.
