MY OLD FRIEND THE BLUES
Steve Earle

Just when every ray of hope was gone

I should have known that you would come along

I can't believe I ever doubted you

My old friend the blues

Another lonely night, a nameless town

If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around

'Cause I know I can always count on you

My old friend the blues



Lovers leave and friends will let you down

But you're the only sure thing that I've found

No matter what I do I'll never lose

My old friend the blues



Just let me hide my weary heart in you

My old friend the blues
