I Hate the Blues

You know my life would be easy

If people would leave me alone

Stop steppin' on my fingers

That I've been working to the bone

Maybe then I could come back to you

God damn I hate the blues

I've tried to put them in a bottle

Some people put' em in their arm

Either way they're gonna kill you

Slowly eat away your heart

If only I could stop the thought of you

God damn I hate the blues

I never learned to listen

To the promises I made

I never thought you'd stay away

Leaving me to take the blame

I never thought you'd follow through

God damn I hate the blues
