I Belong To The Blues

The blues have got my soul,

And they ain’t letting go.

I’m trying to break loose, but it ain’t no use.

I quit asking why,

’Cause til the day I die

I know damn well I belong to the blues.

 

I go down to the track

And I bet my little stack.

Whichever horse I choose, I always lose.

I call my girl for a date.

She tells me I’m too late.

There ain’t no doubt I belong to the blues.

 

The boss just let me go.

He says I work too slow.

And now I sure could use some good news.

But there’s no running from

Just what I’ve become:

Another man who belongs to the blues.
