State of Mind Lyrics
Got a big leather suitcase, all I own's inside
Seems I've been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride
Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walkin' man
Mind drifts like a big balloon out of my situation at hand
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
Walkin' down a lonely highway not feelin' alone
Thinkin' back when things went my way and not the road I'm on
Well, I've been down a time or two, but it never lasted long
I can always make it through on a wing and a prayer and a song
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love
It can get you singin' along
Chase the clouds away and make the sun shine above
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
Seems I've been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride
Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walkin' man
Mind drifts like a big balloon out of my situation at hand
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
Thinkin' back when things went my way and not the road I'm on
Well, I've been down a time or two, but it never lasted long
I can always make it through on a wing and a prayer and a song
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
It can get you singin' along
Chase the clouds away and make the sun shine above
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind

good song here love the harmonica
darn straight on the harmonica, beautiful. when i hear this song i can imagine myself back when i was seven or so hearing it on the radio of my mom's car. and i can almost look thru my childs eyes and hear thru those ears. its wild. and thats kinda what i think the lyrics mean. its every effect a song, a melody can have on someones mind. make you fall in love, make the sun shine, make you happy.
Wow, I feel old! Seven!! I hear this song and I think back to when I was 16 and this song came out. I was dateing a good old red neck at the time and we would have loads of fun riding for wheelers and coon hunting. Wow, not only am I old, I'm an old hick!!! Anyway, this song brings back a ton of old memories of my teen years.
