NOTHIN' BUT THE BLUES
(c) JK. Gulley & J. Cowan
THAT OLD YELLOW MOON KEEPS CHASING 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 I SAID
TELL ME BABY WHAT'S THE BAD NEWS
BUT PRIDE AIN'T NO FRIEND WHEN YOU LOSE EVERYTHING
AND I'VE GOT NOTHING BUT THE BLUES
I WISH I COULD FLY SO FAR AWAY
WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO FACE THE TRUTH
I CAN'T PRETEND 'CAUSE THERE'S NO WHERE TO RUN
I'VE GOT NOTHING BUT THE BLUES
OH, ETTA JAMES AND MISS HOLIDAY THEY KNEW
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOVE AND LOSE
NOW I UNDERSTAND THE SONGS THEY SING
'CAUSE I'VE GOT NOTHING BUT THE BLUES
(CHORUS)
