One Step Ahead Of The Blues

I ain't high on *******

I don't need the pain

It's bad for your brain and that's true

I ain't droppin' no names

I ain't playin' no games

I'm just one step ahead of the blues

One step ahead of the blues

From memphis to reno

From new york to tokyo

I'll try to come through for you

I won't do you in

I ain't no fairweather friend

I'm just one step ahead of the blues

One step ahead of the blues

I don't rob, i don't steal

I ain't beggin' no meal

I ain't driven to drink, i'm no fool

I don't run with the crowd

I don't talk big and loud

I'm just one step ahead of the blues

One step ahead of the blues

I've been under a spell

I ain't been feelin' well

I've been in a shell, and that's true

Dealin' with a curse

But it couldn't be worse

I've been one step ahead of the blues

One step ahead of the blues
