This Lady Sings the Blues

There’s a voice inside my head
It calls me everyday
But the voice I have to follow
Is the one that gets me paid
It comes to me
It’s who I want to be
But for now I just can’t break free
And that is why, that is why
This lady sings the blues

I never feel alone
When I’m standing on this stage
But nobody knows I’m there
While I earn my daily wage
At night I’m free
Singing happily
Just the boys in the band and me
That is why, that is why
This lady sings the blues

I know my time will come
It’s closer every day
I dream about that day
The day I walk away
It feels so right, to sing every night
But until then, I have to fight this fight
That is why, that is why this lady sings the blues.
