Classic Case Of The Blues

Well, my truck broke down this morning on the freeway
Somewhere between here and where I'd been
And I lost my favorite lady last night in a card game
She stacked the deck so I couldn't win

And now, I'm lost and lonesome
Down so low, I gotta reach up to tie my shoes
Yes, I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues

Well, there's an old piano playin' on the jukebox
And a steel guitar beggin' me to cry
And those barroom angels smilin' by the dozen
Just so they can tear my heart out one more time

And now, I'm lost and lonesome
I'm down so low, I gotta reach up to tie my shoes
Yes, I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues

Well, there's a brighter side to everything I'm saying
There's a silver lining somewhere down the line
But I sure ain't seen that brighter side lately
I'll be damned if I'll believe that light inside

And now, I'm lost and lonesome
I'm down so low, I gotta reach up to tie my shoes
Yes, I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues

And now, I'm lost and lonesome
I'm down so low, I gotta reach up to tie my shoes
Yes, I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues

You've got me livin' with a classic case of the blues
