Only The Blues Letra

I walked around memphis
I pranced around paris
I drove across texas
and I knelt before Jesus
and I don’t know why
and I don’t know how
but only the blues
will take my burden now

Everybody asks me what on earth I think I’ll get
that I haven’t gotten yet
it won’t be riches
probably not fame
I still got my freedom
But the price is my pain
and i don’t know how
but only the blues
will take my burden now

so go call your doctor
go pray to your saint
buy yourself a new house
with a new coat of paint
I’ll keep my last dollar
on this three chord riff
three chords and a microphone
give me some kind of lift
and I don’t know why
and I don’t know how
but only the blues
will take my burden now

so baby I love you
with all of my heart
I will til the end
I did from the start
but when my eyes are teary
don’t think you got the cure
and it ain’t because
your love ain’t pure
I don’t know why
and I don’t know how
but only the blues
will take my burden now
only the blues
only the blues
