| [00:24.62] |
Somebody asked me, why I live the blues. |
| [00:29.90] |
I said the blues is all around me. |
| [00:32.65] |
I just find something I can use. |
| [00:35.50] |
And I feel it running through me, |
| [00:38.76] |
but I give it my heart and soul. |
| [00:41.79] |
I practice while I'm singing. |
| [00:44.92] |
Let the feeling take control |
| [00:47.99] |
I'm just tryin' to tell the truth |
| [00:51.08] |
Every time I sing the blues |
| [01:00.22] |
Might think about a woman |
| [01:02.86] |
and how she's done me wrong |
| [01:06.24] |
I might think about some hard times |
| [01:08.59] |
when I was barely hanging on |
| [01:12.08] |
I might think about a brother |
| [01:14.45] |
who still can't make things be |
| [01:18.18] |
Some fallin' sisters |
| [01:20.46] |
sellin' it on the street |
| [01:23.46] |
I'm just tryin' to tell the truth |
| [01:27.74] |
Every time I sing the blues |
| [01:37.18] |
I find my inspiration |
| [01:43.18] |
in tears and desperation |
| [01:48.99] |
Sad, sad stories we all know so well |
| [01:54.83] |
Along with one more story to tell |
| [02:00.57] |
(SOLO) |
| [02:36.80] |
Here I am another night; another town along the way |
| [02:42.08] |
Room full of people say they wanna hear me play |
| [02:48.10] |
Yes there was some hard times, |
| [02:50.72] |
my luck cannot survive |
| [02:53.64] |
It takes a whole lot of livin, |
| [02:56.73] |
to make us all come alive |
| [02:59.68] |
I just want to tell the truth |
| [03:03.73] |
Every time I sing the blues |
| [03:11.70] |
I'm just tryin' to tell the truth |
| [03:15.78] |
Every time I sing the blues |
| [03:20.53] |
(Instrument) |
