Sopranos Theme Song Lyrics
Well 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
And you woke up this morning
All that love had gone
Your papa never told you about right and wrong
But you’re looking good baby
I believe you’re feeling fine shame about it
Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes
Because you woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
Woke up this morning
You got a blue moon in your eyes
Well you woke up this morning
The world turned upside down
Lord above thing’s ain’t been the same since Howlin Wolf walked into your town
But you’re one in a million you’ve got that shotgun shine
Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning
You got a blue moon in your eyes
Woke up this morning
You got a blue moon in your eyes
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 trying to tell you there’s something you should know
Last night you were flying but today you’re so low
Ain’t it times like these that make you wonder if you’ll ever know
The meaning of things as they appear to the others
Wives 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 cause when you woke up this morning
Everything you had was gone everything you had was gone
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning you want to be you want to be the chosen one tonight
Yes, you know because you just get help yourself
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
Woke up this morning
You got yourself a gun got yourself a gun got yourself a gun
