Every Time I Sing The Blues Lyrics

1st Verse

Somebody asked me, why I live the blues

I said the blues is all around me; I just find something I can use

And I feel it running through me, but I give it my heart and soul

I practice while I’m singing; let the feeling take control

CHORUS

I’m just tryin’ to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

2nd Verse

Might think about a woman and how she done me wrong

I might think about some hard times when I was barely hanging on

I might think about a brother who still can’t make things be

Some fallin’ sisters sellin’ it on the street

CHORUS

BRIDGE

I find my inspiration in tears and desperation

Sad, sad stories we all know so well

Along with one more story to tell

(SOLO)

3rd Verse

Here I am another night; another town along the way

Room full of people say they wanna hear me play

Yes there was some hard times, my luck cannot survive

It takes a whole lot of livin; to make us all come alive

CHORUS

CHORUS

(SOLO)
