Oh, you come home one evenin' |
|
To nothin' but the four walls |
|
And then ya find your phone been disconnected |
|
You can't even make no call |
|
Ya hung out for your baby |
|
Oh, an' she's not there |
|
You look in the closet, buddy |
|
An' you find it's all bare |
|
Oh, that's what the blues is people |
|
That's what the blues is all about |
|
Well that's a hard pill you have to swallow, um! |
|
When you find what the blues is all about |
|
Now listen to this |
|
I went out to my backyard |
|
Ya know I whistled for my dog |
|
He ran up under the house, people |
|
Like he didn't even know me at all |
|
Now I hadn't fed him in two or three days |
|
An' he was lookin' kinda thin |
|
Oh, when your dog turn his back on ya, buddy |
|
You know ya haven't even got a friend |
|
That's the blues, people |
|
That's what the blues is all about |
|
Oh it's a hard pill to swallow, um! |
|
When ya find out what the blues is all about |
|
Oh, look out! |
|
Uh!Oh no! |
|
I think I got 'em! |
|
I went out to my mail box |
|
I got a bunch-a bills that |
|
I can't pay |
|
I guess my wife been out shoppin' again |
|
While I been at work all day |
|
I see the man comin' with his tools |
|
Now is he gonna cut off my water? |
|
You know they got my gas yesterday |
|
An' they comin' right back for the lines tomorrow |
|
Ah, that's what the blues is people |
|
That's what the blues is all about |
|
Oh, that's a hard pill to swallow, buddy |
|
When you find out what the blues is all about |
