You Know You Really Got the Blues

You know you really got the blues, when your good gal up and gone
You know you really got the blues, when all that’s goin’ good is goin’ wrong
When you’re past the point of cryin’, when you’re past the point of words
When you’re past the point of knowing what to do
When you’re just too blue to sing ‘em, that’s when you really got the blues

You know you really got the blues, when you wake up moanin’ in the night
You know you really got the blues, when you can’t face the mornin’ light
When you’ve called in every favor, when your friends don’t want to know
When you have used up every last excuse
When you’re just too blue to sing ‘em, that’s when you really got the blues

Once I thought I was so happy, I thought I had it all
But now I don’t know who I was foolin’
Since I lost my woman, my back’s against the wall
And there ain’t no sense to what I am doin’

You know you really got the blues, when all you see are dark horizons
You know you really got the blues, when the taste of life has turned to poison
There’s no light up in the tunnel, and there is no in or out
And “sad to say” is yesterday’s news
When you’re just too blue to sing ‘em, that’s when you really got the blues
