Here in my pocket
I've got the story
of the blues
Try to believe me
'cos it could
front page news
I said I live with it
like it hasn't
happened yet
I keep thinking
of everyone
how I'm the one
The one they're
trying to get to tell
the story of the blues
First they take your pride
then turn it all inside
And then you realise
you've got
nothing left to lose
So you try to stop
try to get back up
And then you realise
you're telling
the story of the blues
Minute by minute
day after day
I think it's over
but I...
just can't get away
You say forget it
well don't jump the gun
You're laughing this time
next time you might be
the one to tell
the story of the blues
First they take your pride
then turn it all inside
And then you realise
you've got nothing
left to lose
So you try to stop
try to get back up
And then you realise
you're telling
the story of the blues
First they take your pride
then turn it all inside
And then you realise
you've got
nothing left to lose
So you try to stop
try to get back up
And then you realise
you're telling
the story of the blues
What they gonna
say about me
when they tell
the story of the blues?
