Nothing but the Blues

My mama left when I was six years old
And I've got nothing but the blues
My father said son you're on your own
And I've got nothing but the blues
You know they kicked me out of my high school
And I've got nothing but the blues
Lost all my money trying to shoot some pool
And I've got nothing about the blues

And I'm fading, waiting around for someone to save me
And I'm fading, waiting around for someone to save me, alright

I had a girl and she broke my heart
And I've got nothing but the blues
I tried to leave but my car won't start
And I got nothing but the blues
I couldn't drive so I lost my job
And I got nothing but the blues
Cops broke in and they shot my dog and I got
Nothing but the blues

And I'm fading, waiting around for someone to save me.
Oh And I'm fading, waiting around
Won't somebody save me, alright!

Solo

Oh and I'm fading, waiting around
And waiting around for someone
Come and save me. Waiting around,
Won't somebody save me, alright!
