2 + 1 - Blue Genes Lyrics

My mama used to tell me, son you've got them blue genes
Your daddy gave them to you and now you're feeling mean
You've got a hole in your soul, you can't shake the blues away
And every night you're crying, praying for a better day

Oh these blue genes, they're weighing me down
I can't escape these tears, they're always around
I've got a bottle in my hand, but it won't do me no good
Cause these blue genes, they're in my blood

I tried to find some happiness, tried to chase my dreams
But these blue genes, they're always pulling at me
I can't escape the memories, of all the hurt and pain
And every time I try to leave, they pull me back again

Oh these blue genes, they're weighing me down
I can't escape these tears, they're always around
I've got a bottle in my hand, but it won't do me no good
Cause these blue genes, they're in my blood

I wish I could shake them, these blue genes of mine
But they're a part of me, they're intertwined
So I'll keep on walking, down this lonely road
With these blue genes, I'll carry this heavy load

Oh these blue genes, they're weighing me down
I can't escape these tears, they're always around
I've got a bottle in my hand, but it won't do me no good
Cause these blue genes, they're in my blood.
