[00:32.04]Some people say
[00:35.49]why do you play the blues?
[00:41.96]Some even ask me
[00:47.12]if I paid my dues.
[00:54.21]Tell them it's something
[00:57.56]to get me through
[01:02.06]Everytime that I think of you.
[01:06.09]That's why,
[01:10.45]That's why I play the blues.
[01:26.21]Some people wanna know
[01:29.09]If the blues is here to stay.
[01:34.35]Tell them I don't know,
[01:40.93]But that it's with me every day.
[01:47.60]Stops me from fallin'
[01:52.62]down to the ground
[01:55.62]Everytime you're not around.
[02:01.11]That's why,
[02:05.24]That's why I play the blues.
[02:14.75]I don't know if it's wrong or right,
[02:19.73]But the blues is with me day and night.
[02:25.48]Just don't ask me about the way I feel,
[02:32.36]All I know is that the blues is real.
[03:03.06]Tell them it's something
[03:05.26]to get me through
[03:08.62]Everytime that I'm thinking of you.
[03:13.61]That's why,
[03:18.00]That's why I play the blues.
[03:22.26]That's why I play the blues.
[03:28.26]That's why I play the blues.
[03:34.70]That's why,
