The Story of the Blues (Part 1) Lyrics

Here in my pocket
I got the Story Of The Blues
Try to believe me
'Cause it could be front page news
I say I live with it like it hasn't happened yet
I keep thinking of everyone, how I'm the one
The one they're trying to get
To tell the Story Of The Blues

First they take your pride
Turn it all inside
And then you realize
You've got nothing left to lose

So you try to stop
Try to get back up
And then you realize
You're telling the Story Of The Blues
Feeling browbeaten
Day after day
I think it's over
But I just can't get away

You say forget it
Well don't jump the gun
You're laughing this time
Next time you might be the one
To tell the Story Of The Blues
First they take your pride
Turn it all inside
And then you realize
You've got nothing left to lose

So you try to stop
Try to get back up
And then you realize
You're telling the Story Of The Blues

(REPEAT)

What they gonna say 'bout me
When they tell the Story Of The Blues
