Well Well
Beth Hart / Joe Bonamassa Lyrics

I woke up this morning
The singer is describing her day that has just begun

With a smile on my face
She is feeling happy and content

I threw out those stones
She let go of the things that were holding her back

That stood in my way
Those things were obstacles in her life

And I put on a new pair
She is taking a fresh start

Of hard walking shoes
She is determined to walk a difficult path

I woke up this morning
The singer reaffirms that it's a new day

Laughing the blues
She is feeling free and happy, despite any sadness she's faced in the past

When the talking on the TV
She is talking about hearing news on TV

Tells me I should be scared
The news tries to create fear in people's minds

I don't let it overwhelm me
She is not letting the news get her down

I know that joy will be there
She hopes to find happiness soon

Behind every tear
Even though she may be crying on the inside, she knows happiness will find her

It might take a while
It may not happen immediately, but it will happen eventually

Might as well smile
She chooses to look at the bright side of life

I go to the corner
She's going to get a drink

And buy me a drink
She wants to have fun

I say to the man
She's talking to the bartender

"This shit helps me think"
She's saying the drink is helping her relax and enjoy herself

He says "who ya fooling?
The bartender doesn't believe her statement

I know your type!!
The bartender thinks she's trying to hide something

A dead woman walking"
He is saying she's not really living; she's just going through the motions

Maybe he's right
She's starting to doubt herself

I sure hope he ain't right
She doesn't want to believe him

And when the preacher on the TV
She is talking about another news segment she's seen

Tells me I should be scared
The preacher is warning her about something

I don't let it overtake me
She's trying to stay calm

I know that faith will be there
She is hopeful that something good will eventually come of it

Behind every fear
Even though she may be scared, she knows things will turn out alright

It might take a while
She knows it won't happen immediately, but it will happen eventually

Might as well smile
She chooses to remain optimistic

Without a warning
Something unexpected happened

My fear was erased
She suddenly feels unafraid

So I put on a new pair
She is again taking a fresh start

Of good walking shoes
She is optimistic about the journey ahead

I woke up this morning
She is emphasizing that it's a new day

Laughing the blues
She is feeling unburdened, free and lighthearted

'Cause I got nothing to lose
She feels free of any burdens or regrets

And if the darkness brings the thunder
She is acknowledging hard times will come

And my brother turns me away
She's speaking about family members/society turning their backs on her

I will turn and love another
She will find someone/something else to love

There will be light in the shade
Even when things get hard, she tries to find positivity and good wherever possible

And that's where I'll lay
She will find comfort and solace in the positive light she finds

It might take a while
It won't happen immediately, be patient

Might as well smile
She chooses to look at the bright side of life, despite everything
