Somebody asked me, why I live the blues. I said the blues is all around me. I just find something I can use. And I feel it running through me, but I give it my heart and soul. I practice while I'm singing. Let the feeling take control I'm just tryin' to tell the truth Every time I sing the blues Might think about a woman and how she's done me wrong I might think about some hard times when I was barely hanging on I might think about a brother who still can't make things be Some fallin' sisters sellin' it on the street I'm just tryin' to tell the truth Every time I sing the blues I find my inspiration in tears and desperation Sad, sad stories we all know so well Along with one more story to tell (SOLO) Here I am another night; another town along the way Room full of people say they wanna hear me play Yes there was some hard times, my luck cannot survive It takes a whole lot of livin, to make us all come alive I just want to tell the truth Every time I sing the blues I'm just tryin' to tell the truth Every time I sing the blues (Instrument)
