One Step Ahead Of The Blues

I ain’t high on cocaine

I don’t need the pain

It's bad for your brain

And that's true

I ain’t dropping no names

I ain’t playing no games

I’m just one step ahead of the blues

I’m just one step ahead of the blues

From Memphis to Reno

From New York to Tokyo

I try to come through for you

I won't do you in

I ain’t no fair-weather friend

I’m just one step ahead of the blues

I’m just one step ahead of the blues

I don’t rob I don’t steal

I ain’t begging no meal

I ain't driven to drink

I’m no fool

I don’t run with the crowd

I don’t talk big and loud

I’m just one step ahead of the blues

I’m just one step ahead of the blues

I been under a spell

I ain’t been feeling well

I been down in a shell

And that's true

Well I'm dealing with a curse

But it couldn’t be worse

I’m just one step ahead of the blues

I’m just one step ahead of the blues
