I've got the blues, you damn right
I've got the blues, you damn right
All right now, all right now
Mama left me, I was young
Papa left me, too damn young
Down in Texas, dirty south Texas
On my own, in a bad place, in a bad way
Got them blues
There's a rattlesnake with some bad blood, biting me
Out on the road, I'm all alone out here
Oh, I got them blues
There's a young child locked in a birdcage on the border town
Out on the road, I'm all alone out here
And oh, I got them blues
There's a grown man sweating methadone, killing me
Go down the road, well, go down the road from here
And do not lose the way

I will not lose my way
God damn me blues
There's a racist man in a white house up on a hill
Get down the road, get down the road from here
And do not lose the way
God damn me blues
On a shoestring with some chicken bone, must be voodoo
I'm getting down the road, I'm getting down the road from here
I know by now I will not lose my way
Well, I'm walking down that straight and narrow road
Shaking off these goddamn blues
My head's held high but I feel so low
Shaking off these goddamn blues
Well, I'm walking down that straight and narrow road
Shaking off these goddamn blues
My head's held high but I feel so low
Shaking off these goddamn blues
Well, I'm walking down that straight and narrow road
Shaking off these goddamn blues
My head's held high but I feel so low
Shaking off these goddamn blues
Oh, I
