Everytime I Sing the Blues (feat. Eric Clapton)

作词 : T. Hambridge/G. Nicholson

作曲 : T. Hambridge/G. Nicholson

Somebody asked me, why I live the blues.

I said the blues is all around me.

I just find something I can use.

And I feel it running through me,

but I give it my heart and soul.

I practice while I'm singing.

Let the feeling take control

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

Might think about a woman

and how she's done me wrong

I might think about some hard times

when I was barely hanging on

I might think about a brother

who still can't make things be

Some fallin' sisters

sellin' it on the street

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

I find my inspiration

in tears and desperation

Sad, sad stories we all know so well

Along with one more story to tell

(SOLO)

Here I am another night; another town along the way

Room full of people say they wanna hear me play

Yes there was some hard times,

my luck cannot survive

It takes a whole lot of livin,

to make us all come alive

I just want to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues

I'm just tryin' to tell the truth

Every time I sing the blues
