You take a man and a woman,
That just can't get along,
Sick and tired of doing each other wrong.
Painful words are spoken, precious vows are broken
Telling both nothing long in here.
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
A young man on the street,
trying hard to make his way
Out there in this mean old world it gets harder everyday
He tried to fight a good fight, he was trying a new ride
But the dark side keep closing in.
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
Where the blues begins way down on the bottom
You got to struggle to survive
Where the blues begins, hard luck and trouble
Takes its toll on our lives
It's the same old fight,
You know you just can't win,
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
Where the blues begins way down on the bottom
You got to struggle to survive
Where the blues begins, hard luck and trouble
It takes its toll on our lives
It's that same old fight you know you just can't win
Oh, this is where the blues begins
It's that same old fight you know you just can't win
Oh, this is where the blues begins
That just can't get along,
Sick and tired of doing each other wrong.
Painful words are spoken, precious vows are broken
Telling both nothing long in here.
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
A young man on the street,

Out there in this mean old world it gets harder everyday
He tried to fight a good fight, he was trying a new ride

Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
Where the blues begins way down on the bottom
You got to struggle to survive
Where the blues begins, hard luck and trouble
Takes its toll on our lives
It's the same old fight,
You know you just can't win,
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins
Where the blues begins way down on the bottom
You got to struggle to survive
Where the blues begins, hard luck and trouble
It takes its toll on our lives
It's that same old fight you know you just can't win
Oh, this is where the blues begins
It's that same old fight you know you just can't win
Oh, this is where the blues begins
