You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun
Your mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One

She said, 'You're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine
But you were born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes'

When you woke up this morning
All that love had gone
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong

But you're, but you're looking good, baby
I believe that you're feeling fine
(Shame about it)
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes

Woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
Woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
Woke up this morning

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down
Lord above, thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked in our town

Baby, but you're, but you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine, shame about it
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes

Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
Woke up this morning

When you woke up this morning
Everything was gone
By half past ten your head
Was going ding-dong

Ringing like a bell from your head
Down to your toes
Like a voice telling you
There was something you should know

Last night you were flying
But today you're so low
Ain't it times like these
That you wonder if you'll ever know

The meaning of things
As they appear to the others
Wives, husbands, mothers
Fathers, sisters and brothers

Don't you wish you didn't function
Don't you wish you didn't think
Beyond the next paycheck
And the next little drink

Well, you do so
Make up your mind to go on 'cos
When you woke up this morning
Everything you had was gone

Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
You wanna be the Chosen One

Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning

Got yourself a gun
Got yourself a gun
Got yourself a gun
