Learnin' The Blues

The tables are empty, the dance floor's deserted

You play the same love song, it's the 10th time you've heard it

That's the beginning, just one of the clues

You've had your first lesson in learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light, one after another

Won't help you forget her, and the way that you love her

You're only burnin' a torch you can't lose

But you're on the right track for learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone

The blues will taunt you constantly

When you're out in a crowd

The blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep, the whole night you're crying

But you can't forget her, soon you even stop trying

You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes

When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone

The blues will taunt you constantly

When you're out in a crowd

Those blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep, that whole night you're crying

But you can't forget her, soon you even stop trying

You'll walk the floor, and you'll wear out your shoes

When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' those blues
