I've been singing these lonely blues For how long I can't remember The only love I got is with my local bartender She don't ask for much As long as you pay your tab every night She always knows what not to say To make me feel alright Lonely Blues Taking over me Lonely Blues Why can't you just set me free From the top of my head To the bottom of my shoes I can't seem to shake 'em I'm tired of paying due Sometimes it seems all I got Are these Lonely Blues Well I'd tell you about all of my troubles If I thought that you'd really care You know that I sure wouldn't blame you If all you did was just sit and stare Cause if the truth be told you know I'd probably just do the same The last thing that I'm looking for Is somebody else to blame Lonely Blues Taking over me Lonely Blues Why can't you just set me free From the top of my head To the bottom of my shoes I can't seem to shake 'em I'm tired of paying due Sometimes it seems all I got Are these Lonely Blues I guess that's just the way it is I guess that's just what I've got It's gonna be what its gonna be If you want it that way or not I wish I had a few answers Wasn't stuck wearing these old sole shoes Maybe I could get along Without these lonely blues Lonely Blues Taking over me Lonely Blues Why can't you just set me free From the top of my head To the bottom of my shoes I can't seem to shake 'em I'm tired of paying due Sometimes it seems all I got Are these Lonely Blues Yeah Sometimes it seems all I got Are these Lonely Blues
