Lyrics
I can't get Out of the Blues
Verse
I've been down on my luck, lost some good friends
Ain't had a job, since I don't when
You don't have A clue, the pain I been through
Cause I can't get out of the blues
Verse
Stock markets down, day after day
I just said good bye, to my 401k
Hanging onto my shirt, they might take that too
And I can't get out of the blues
Chorus
No---, I can't get out of the blues
Every time I try, I struggle and loose
I can't get out of the blues
Every thing's broke, the skies falling too
It's keeping me down, what do I say
Got no mo money, I still can't pay
Tomorrow looks like, a rainy day
And I can't get out of the blues
Lead
Oh---out on the street, you hear people say
Things are looking up, ain't no dam way
The congress is broke, now I'm on my own
And I can't get out of the blues
Chorus
No---, I can't get out of the blues
Losing my house, what do I do
I can't get out of the blues
Jobs went to China, banks went there too
It's keeping me down, what do I say
Living out on the street, will kill me some day
Tomorrow looks like, a rainy day
No---, I can't get out of the blues
It's keeping me down, what do I say
And I can't get out of the blues
