Blues God Has To Hide

Me and my woman can’t see eye to eye
I’m never enough no matter how hard I try
But it’s nothin like the blues God has to hide
She left me a note, said I’m not your maid
And I won’t be back until the light bill’s paid
But its nothin like the blues God has to hide
The dealer deals and at times it feels
I can’t even draw a pair
And it gets so old I could nearly fold
Under all I have to bear
But I’ve got one last ace that’s never failed me yet
No matter how bad it seems it’s an easy bet
It ain’t nothing like the blues God has to hide.

I’ve got a friend name Frank who calls me late at night
When he drinks too much or when he’s just uptight
I say it’s nothing like the blues God has to hide
He likes to rant and rave about all his pain
He says it’s not so bad if he can just complain
Still its nothing like the blues God has to hide
You know I dread the call but since we’re
Friends and all it’s a chore I can’t avoid
But if I ever knew all the Lord’s been through
I would surely be destroyed
So when I think my life can’t get no worse
I take a tiny peek at the universe
My blues are nothing like the blues God has to hide.

They say no one ever hurts you like the ones you love
They say we’re all sons and daughters
Of the Father above
I say there’s nothing like the blues God has to hide
He chases back the darkness with the sun each morn
He dreams of happiness and joy
For every child whose born
For sure there’s nothing like the blues God has to hide
You know I’d give my shirt to save my kids from hurt
I just hate to hear them cry
Who knows the pain He feels when there’s
Not enough meals and millions have to die
So we each think we’re lifting our fair share
‘Cause He never gives us more than we can bear
Revealing nothing of the blues God has to hide.
