i guess that's why they call it the blues
It's a feeling that you can't disguise
Like a shadow that follows you all night
But it seems like you can't shake it loose
Oh, the blues are calling you
I guess that's why they call it the blues
I feel so alone and blue
Oh, it's a feeling that I can't disguise
I can't get it off of my mind
Now my troubles seem to follow me
From town to town, all over the world
Oh, but it's only the blues they are trying to get through to you
So don't you let them win, no, no, no
I guess that's why they call it the blues
Oh, they may have a hold of you now
But don't let them take control of you too soon
For when you try to fight them they always win out
Oh, the blues are calling you now, oh yeah
I guess that's why they call it the blues.
