Let me tell you why I am the way I am
And why I've carried on for so long
The only reason I recall
Is when I hear the words I have to sing the song
These singers blues they only know
And they replace every notion of my own
And I try and make sense the best I can
Of the only honest life I understand
I can tell you how the morning looks at dawn
But only with my back against a wall
You can see me there but soon I'll be gone
When I hear the words and have to sing the song
These singers blues they only know
And they replace every notion of my own
And I try and make sense the best I can
Of the only honest life I understand
