The Blues Havin' Blues

The good lord must have heard my prayers Because he packed up and disappeared He took the praise and extravagant odes And left the sting I've been dying to know Someone should give that old devil his due He taught me how to love only you (He taught me how to love only you) I know I owe my good fortune to him Because he pulled me out of the trance, now baby That faith had put me in I've been blessed with a broken heart Since the day I was born Cleansed in the water The sons and the daughters Stripped of the sins we're destined for I've been blessed with a broken heart Since I've been reborn Down in the water The sons and the daughters The kind of death worth living for The Good Stranger has seen me grieve He saw the crooked old heart on my sleeve He took the note I had written, it said "Only sinners become better men" Someone should give that old devil his due He taught me how to love only you (He taught me how to love only you) Yeah, I owe the love of my woman to him Because he pulled her out of the grave now, baby That faith had put her in I've been blessed with a broken heart Since the day I was born Cleansed in the water The sons and the daughters Stripped of the sins we're destined for I've been blessed with a broken heart Since I've been reborn Down in the water The sons and the daughters The kind of death worth living for I can't live without the blues I can't love without the blues I can't sleep without the blues The devil will take his pay so we're alright I can't live without the blues Oh, I can't love without the blues I can't drink without the blues Because he pulled me out the trance now, baby That faith had put me in I've been blessed with a broken heart since the day I was born Cleansed in the water The sons and the daughters Stripped of the sins we're destined for I've been blessed with a broken heart since I've been reborn Down in the water The sons and the daughters The kind of death worth living for I've been blessed with a broken heart Since the day I was born Cleansed in the water The sons and the daughters Stripped of the sins we're destined for I've been blessed with a broken heart Since I've been reborn Down in the water The sons and the daughters The kind of death worth living for
