Paul Butterfield › Lyrics › I Got a Mind to Give Up Living

I've got a mind to give up living
And go shopping instead
I've got a mind to give up living
And go shopping instead
Pick me up a tombstone
And be pronounced dead

Well, I read your letter this morning
That was on your place in bed
Oh, when I read your letter this morning
That was on your place in bed
That's when I decided that I'd be better off dead
Oh, yeah

When I read your letter this morning
That was on your place in bed
Yes, when I read your letter this morning
That was on your place in bed
That's when I decided that I'd be better off dead

It read, "There is no use looking or ever hoping
Or ever hoping to get me back"
"Oh, no use looking, baby
Or ever hoping to get me back
Because it's all over now
And, baby, you can bet on that"
Oh, yeah
