Everytime I Sing the Blues (Main Version)

Every Time I Sing the Blues -Buddy Guy

Somebody asked me why I live the blues

I said the blues is all around me;I just find something I can use

And I feel it running through me but I give it my heart and soul

I practice while I'm singing;let the feeling take control

I'm just tryin'to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

Might think about a woman and how she done me wrong

I might think about some hard times when I was barely hanging on

I might think about a brother who still can't make things be

Some fallin'sisters sellin'it on the street

I'm just tryin'to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

I find my inspiration in tears and desperation

Sad sad stories we all know so well

Along with one more story to tell

Here I am another night;another town along the way

Room full of people say they wanna hear me play

Yes there was some hard times my luck cannot survive

It takes a whole lot of livin;to make us all come alive

I'm just tryin'to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

I'm just tryin'to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

I'm just tryin'to tell the truth
