J J Cale One Step Ahead Of The Blues Lyrics

One Step Ahead Of The Blues Lyrics

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 droppin` no names
I ain`t playin` no games
I`m just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues
From Memphis to Reno
From New York to Tokyo
I`ll try to come through for you
I won`t do you in
I ain`t no fairweather friend
I`m just one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues
I don`t rob, I don`t steal
I ain`t beggin` 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
One step ahead of the blues
I`ve been under a spell
I ain`t been feelin` well
I`ve been in a shell, and that`s true
Dealin` with a curse
But it couldn`t be worse
I`ve been one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues
