Fair to middlin' of nowhere

I hate it when I’m right
about something I’d rather be wrong.
I sense something is about to begin.
Sure enough, here we go again.
My intuition gives me ammunition
to hedge my bet without regret.
You rarely give me cause for concern
a lesson I’ve had to learn
over time.
But worry over you
I truly do.
I can see the mountain you climb.
I can hear your pain
and your fear has my ear
as you struggle for every gain.
Impatience has pushed your frustration
to your limitation.
There is not much I can do
other than continue
to be right about you.

Profound 'bookends' to volumes of trials, Miss Lori.

Good blues, country/blues lyrics...       

Luther did okay with these lyrics and they're no better than your own: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWAUCVbnDUg
