She gets up with her head swung low down Steps into the room, she sings Please listen while I sing my song to you 'Cuz it all slips away, it ends too soon
How in the hell, did I get here? Let me tell you all, why I sing the blues? Been in a daze for ten years But I still can sing the truth
Heaven knows where we all go All we have is what we get When it's gone, when will I know Because I haven't got it yet
She's swayin' to the swing of the music Her arms wave in the air She turns her head, our eyes make contact It lets me know
How in the hell, did I get here? Let me tell you all, why I sing the blues? Been in a daze for ten years But I still can sing the truth
Heaven knows where we all go All we have is what we get When it's gone when will I know Because I haven't got it yet
Did you find that ride? Did you finally fly? While I sit here, kickin' and bitchin' Sayin' gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme Gimme what's mine
I thought I had it all, I wanted more No need for you, I slammed the door I cut you lose What are the chances that I'd walk in here And find the truth
