Learn to Live with the Blues

While I was working in a dangerous world

Away from my safe young girl

I met the older woman, seemed like a dream

Looked like she could overturn my best laid gleaming schemes

Found myself struggling should I change my path?

Felt like I was being sawn in half

I know in my heart I can't refuse

The voices saying, choose or lose

or you gonna have to learn to live with the blues

Loving the older woman really hurts

I'm so crazy I could burst

Sometimes the safe girl seems a hell of a lot like a child

The Woman oozes experience, travelled so many more miles

Girl's a country beauty, Woman's a hard city hitter

One's like the morning sun, the other's like a neon midnight glitter

I know in my heart I can't refuse

The voices saying, choose or lose

or you gonna have to learn to live with the blues

Though I'm back now from the danger world

I still can't face the truth

The two are fighting in my head, it's got me hitting the juice

The girls so sweet and the woman turns up my heat

I've got to make a decision really fast

Or the future will be collapsing into the past

I know in my heart I can't refuse

The voices saying, choose or lose

or you gonna have to learn to live with the blues
