Every Time I Sing the Blues -Buddy Guy
Somebody asked me why I live the blues
I said the blues is all around me;I just find something I can use
And I feel it running through me but I give it my heart and soul
I practice while I'm singing;let the feeling take control
I'm just tryin'to tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues
Might think about a woman and how she done me wrong
I might think about some hard times when I was barely hanging on
I might think about a brother who still can't make things be
Some fallin'sisters 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
Along with one more story to tell
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 my luck cannot survive
It takes a whole lot of livin;to make us all come alive
I'm just tryin'to tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues
I'm just tryin'to tell the truth
Every time I sing the blues
I'm just tryin'to tell the truth
