Where The Blues Begins
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You take a man and a woman that just can't get along
Sick and tired of doing each other wrong
Painful words are spoken, precious vowns are broken
Till they're both left alone in the end
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
A young man on the street, trying hard to make his way
Out there in this mean old world, it gets harder every day
He tried to find a good fight, he was starting a new life
But the dark side keeps closing in
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
Where the blues begins
Way down on the bottom
You got the struggle to survive
Where the blues begins, hard luck and trouble
It takes its toll on our lives
It's the same old fight
You know you just can't win
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
Where the blues begins
Way down on the bottom
You got the struggle to survive
Where the blues begins
Hard luck and trouble
It takes its toll on our lives
It's the same old fight
You know you just can't win
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
It's the same old fight
You know you just can't win
