lyrics

You take a man and a woman,
That just can't get along,
Sick and tired of doing each other wrong.
Hurtful words are spoken,
precious vows are broken,
Telling both nothing long in here.

Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins.

A young man on the street,
trying hard to make his way
Out there in this mean old world
it gets harder everyday
He tried to fight a good fight,
he was trying a new ride
But the dark side keep closing in.

Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins

Where the blues begins way down on the bottom
You got to struggle to survive
Where the blues begins, hard luck and trouble
Takes its toll on our lives

It's the same old fight,
You know you just can't win,
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins.

Where the blues begins way down on the bottom
You got to struggle to survive
Where the blues begins, hard luck and trouble
It takes its toll on our lives

It's that same old fight
you know you just can't win
Oh, this is where the blues begins.

It's that same old fight
you know you just can't win
Oh, this is where the blues begins.
