(Verse 1) I wake up slow with the sun in my eyes Ain’t no coffee, just a life full of lies My woman gone and my luck went too Ain’t got much, but I got the blues (Verse 2) Got holes in my boots, wind in my coat A song in my throat, but it barely floats Been walkin’ this road with a busted shoe Ain’t got much, but I got the blues (Chorus) Yeah I got the blues, deep in my soul They rattle my bones and swallow me whole The world turns cold, don’t care if I lose Ain’t got much, but I got the blues (Verse 3) I tried prayin’, but the sky stayed gray Tried runnin’, but my past won’t stay I sit on this stoop, just me and my tune Playin’ low-down chords to a hard-back moon (Chorus) Yeah I got the blues, and they don’t let go Like a dog with a bone or a debt I owe The fire burned out, I’m just warmin’ my shoes Ain’t got much, but I got the blues (Outro) So if you see me, don’t look away I’m still here, just worn and frayed I’ll play you a song that the rain might choose ‘Cause I ain’t got much… But I damn sure got the blues
