Lyrics • Can’t Stop Worrying

Can’t Stop Worrying

CHORUS: I can’t stop worryin’

Now all those voices tryin’ to tell me how I ought to progress,
Everything I’m doin’ wrong, and why I’m not a success
Go ’round and ’round my brain in the middle of the night
And I can’t help worryin’, "What if they’re right?"
My mind keeps workin’ overtime, it seems I’m obsessed
With so many insecurities, I cannot lay to rest
And I can’t stop worryin’ ...

Ah, now, they say the darkest hour comes right before dawn
But the sun’s comin’ up, and my trouble ain’t gone
No, I’m weary and I’m wasted, but I gotta get out of bed
I got to pull myself together, try to face the day ahead
I go draggin’ through the day just like a zombie, and then
Collapse in the sack and start all over again
Because I can’t stop worryin’ ...

Now there once was a time when I was free from care
But life is so unpredictable, and often unfair
Oh, I know it might get better,
But then again, it could get worse
And I got to prepare, my mind has got to rehearse,
For some unforeseen catastrophe might catch me unaware
And I can’t be at ease with trouble lurkin’ everywhere,
And I can’t stop worryin’ ...

Oh, we’re all trapped on a treadmill, it’s an uphill climb
Where there’s never enough money,

And there is never a reward for just doin’ your level best,
And the race is to the swift, and you can’t afford to rest;
If you snooze, you’re gonna lose, that much is understood
So even though I know it doesn’t do a bit of good,
Oh, I can’t stop worryin’ ...
