How Blues Is That (feat. Joe Walsh)

I'm from the backwoods, way down south

Grew up and living hand to mouth

One-door shack was all I had

The heat went out and the cold got bad

How blues is that?

Tell me how blues is that

Got a pawnshop loan, I can't pay it back

How blues is that?

Went to Chicago, tried to get a break

Had a lot of doors slammed in my face

Sittin' on the corner, poured out my heart

Picked up a change, even snapped out in the park

How blues is that?

Whoo, tell me how blues is that

Got a pawnshop loan, I can't pay it back

How blues is that?

All-night dinners, that's where I eat

My kind of people are the people I meet

Making just enough money to stay alive

Playin' the blues, trying to survive

How blues is that?

How blues is that? Tell me

Got a pawnshop loan, I can't pay it back

How blues is that?

How blues is that?

Please tell me how blues is that?

Let me say it again

How blues is that? Mm-hm

How blues is that?
