Nothin' But The Blues

NOTHIN’BUT THE BLUES (c)JK Gulley/J.Cowan

THAT OLD YELLOW MOON KEEPS CHASIN’ ME DOWN
THIS LONELY CHOKES ME LIKE A NOOSE
I’D GO ALONG WAY FOR A LITTLE RELIEF
CAUSE I GOT NOTHIN’ BUT THE BLUES

WHEN YOU WALKED AWAY, I LAUGHED AND SAID
TELL ME BABY WHAT’S THE BAD NEWS
OH BUT PRIDE AIN’T NO FRIEND, WHEN YOU LOSE EVERYTHING
NOW I GOT NOTHIN’ BUT THE BLUES

I WISH I COULD FLY, SO FAR AWAY
WHERE I DON’T HAVE TO FACE THE TRUTH
BUT I CAN’T PRETEND CAUSE THERE’S NO WHERE TO RUN
WHEN I GOT NOTHIN’ BUT THE BLUES

OH ETTA JAMES AND MISS HOLIDAY THEY KNEW
WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LOVE AND LOSE
I UNDERSTAND THE SONGS THEY SING
I GOT NOTHIN’ BUT THE BLUES
