When I was a young boy, my father told me: "son
If you wanna get ahead in life, don't stay behind no one
There's more to this world, than I can ever show
So, this is where I have to let you go
Play your blues in the morning
Play your blues while the moon is shining bright
Even when we're apart, you're always in my heart
Play your blues, 'cause you were born this way."
As I hit the road he said: "son, bear in mind
Don't think of home as a place, but a state of mind
Get your loving from the sweetest heart
Your wisdom from the grey
So, you can pass it all along some day
And play your blues in the morning
Play your blues while the moon is shining bright
Even when we're apart, you're always in my heart
Play your blues, 'cause you were born this way."
Now that I've become a man, he still calls me: "son
Everything you are today, was right there all along
The greatest gift in life is to be who you are
You'll always find a song in your guitar
And play your blues in the morning
Play your blues while the moon is shining bright
Even when we're apart, you're always in my heart
Play your blues, 'cause you were born this way
Play your blues in the morning
Play your blues while the moon is shining bright
Even when we're apart, you're always in my heart
Play your blues, 'cause you were born this way."
