Lyrics
Somebody asked me
Why I live the blues
I said the blues is all around me
I just find somethin' I can use
And I feel it runnin' through me
And I give it my heart and soul
I trust the song I'm singin'
Let the feelin' take control
I'm just tryin' to tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues
I might think about a woman
And how she done me wrong
I might think about some hard times
When I was barely hangin' on
I might think about a brother
Who still can't make ends meet
Or some fallen sister
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
There's always one more
Story to tell
Now 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
I lucky I survived
It take a whole lotta livin'
To make a song come alive
I just wanna tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues
Looka here
I'm just tryin' to tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues
Just tryin' to tell the truth, people
The truth and the lie
That's why I sing the blues every night
