CAN’T GET THE BLUES



There's a train that's comin', I can hear the whistle blow
A thousand miles behind me, Lord where can I go
Time ain't healin' me, loneliness is killin' me
Now I got nothin' left to lose
I can't even get the blues


The storm keeps on blowin', the lightnin's so bright
Rain won't drown my heartache, there's no blue sky in sight
You said I couldn't feel it, said I didn't see it
So I walked for a mile in your shoes
I still couldn't get the blues


You wouldn't make love with the lights on
Fearful of the truth in your eyes
You wanted me to walk down your road
But it was muddy and washed out with lies


There's a train that's comin', another lonesome whistle blows
I left you behind me, I made it through the crossroads
It's supposed to last forever, you and me together
But the timing was not ours to choose
I still can't get the blues

Yeah the timing was not ours to choose
I still can't get the blues
