Here in my pocket I got the Story of the Blues Try to believe me 'Cos it could be front page news
I say I live with it like it hasn't happened yet I keep thinking of everyone How I'm the one, the one they're trying to get To tell the Story of the Blues
First, they take your pride Turn it all inside And then you realise You've got nothing left to lose
So, you try to stop Try to get back up And then, you realise You're telling the Story of the Blues
Feeling browbeaten Day after day I think it's over But I just can't get away
You say forget it We'll don't jump the gun You're laughing this time Next time you might be the one To tell the Story of the Blues
First, they take your pride Turn it all inside And then you realise You've got nothing left to lose
So, you try to stop Try to get back up And then, you realise You're telling the Story of the Blues
(repeat)
What they gonna say 'bout me When they tell the Story of the Blues
