You thought you were rocking in an old blues band
How come nobody ever told you it is a losing hand
Bad news from home, mama called again
Better be careful boy, the blues ain't your friend
Forget that cheap thrill, better use your sense
Hard times are coming and it ain't no coincidence
Better go home, catch the fastest train
All the good things you're missing won't come back again
Started out with nothing, see now what you've got ain't got
Nothing but nothing, hey man! thanks a lot
