Somebody asked me, why I live the blues[00:00:24]
I said the blues is all around me; I just find something I can use[00:00:29]
And I feel it running through me, but I give it my heart and soul[00:00:36]
I practice while I'm singing; let the feeling take control[00:00:42]
I'm just tryin' to tell the truth[00:00:48]
Every time I sing the blues[00:00:51]
Might think about a woman and how she done me wrong[00:01:00]
I might think about some hard times when I was barely hanging on[00:01:06]
I might think about a brother who still can't make things be[00:01:12]
Some fallin' sisters sellin' it on the street[00:01:18]
I'm just tryin' to tell the truth[00:01:24]
Every time I sing the blues[00:01:28]
I find my inspiration in tears and desperation[00:01:37]
Sad, sad stories we all know so well[00:01:49]
Along with one more story to tell[00:01:54]
Here I am another night; another town along the way[00:02:37]
Room full of people say they wanna hear me play[00:02:42]
Yes there was some hard times, my luck cannot survive[00:02:48]
It takes a whole lot of livin; to make us all come alive[00:02:54]
I'm just tryin' to tell the truth[00:03:00]
Every time I sing the blues[00:03:03]
I'm just tryin' to tell the truth[00:03:12]
Every time I sing the blues[00:03:16]
