Got My Mind Made Up

from Strange Brew by Keith Thompson Band

/

about

The theme of this song is about a decision! A decision to change, learn from mistakes and move forward. It is fairly biographical. Overcoming depression and not getting bogged down by my own past. Like a pilgrim, picking myself up and walking to a better future!

lyrics

Got My Mind Made Up – Keith Thompson

Never used to worry, just do as I feel
I lost my money and my woman at the roulette wheel
Living for kicks or the latest deal
Seems like my heart must have been made of steel

I’ve got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
It will be better from now on

Never cared about the latest style
My face would crack if I ever smiled
My folks said, what happened to our child?
How can a good kid grow up so wild?

I’ve got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
It will be better from now on

No-one knew the reason why, the child in me had to die
No-one knew what I was going through but there were tears in my eyes
Everybody’s got their problems; I know that’s true
But maybe I just had to think too much but I felt so different from you

I’ve got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
It will be better from now on

I took to drinking to try and drown my sorrow
Couldn’t see no future, no bright tomorrow
Then I decided to stand up and fight
Got to keep on walking don’t turn left or right.

I’ve got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up
It will be better from now on
