These Blues Lyrics

These Blues lyrics

When I get these blues, I just look back down that road

It's been a while since I laid down that load

These blues ain't nothin' like the blues I had

Before I paid a little debt I owed

When I get these blues, I just look back down that road



Everythin' I ever needed was on the shelf

Spent all of my time feelin' sorry for myself

I was driftin' and dreamin' and waitin'

And watchin' for a ship with a silver sail

But I got lucky and I woke up in jail



There is none so blind as he who will not see

And it's easy to see I could not see that was me

When he washed ashore

The drunken sailor was adrift in the city night

And you'd better believe, in the mornin' my burden was light



Well I don't know where I'm goin'

But I know where I've been

And there ain't no need to ever go back again

And my very worst days are so much better

Than the best I knew back then

And I thank the Lord that a loser can sometimes win

Yeah, I thank the Lord that a loser can sometimes win
